Communication Changes

We realize that regular communication is important for VancouverMQG members, and we’ll continue to issue monthly newsletters. Look for a newsletter in your inbox on the 1^st of each month.

In addition, we’ll send out a meeting reminder, and any updates, 2-3 days before each meeting.

You’ll also be able to see Newsletters on the guild’s website, under 'Newsletters.'
