This year's raffle will once again offer cash prizes from $500 to $5,000. The following is a list of books from the GAC Library that were borrowed and never returned.

Clicking it will bring you to the GAC Photo Albums which include Expansion photos, New Year's Eve photos, and photos from the Grand Re-Opening & Dedication. Please send us any pictures you have so that we can continue to expand our albums. The State of Connecticut requires that all club members sign-in any and all non members they are bringing into the club. If you do not comply with this law, you are putting the club's liquor license in jeopardy and you are also jeopardizing your own membership. The sign-in book for non members is on the desk at the front entry. Although we have a group of dedicated volunteers on the Failte Committee that greet and assist people entering the club, it is not staffed at all times. More volunteers are needed. It is a great way for new members to meet people. If interested, contact Sue Allen. |
