WILL NNGA ADVERTISE OR PROMOTE EVENTS OR SERVICES TO IT’S MEMBERS?
Community activities are sometimes sent by email blast to members for their information. It is up to each member to plan or organize going to a community event.
CAN I FORWARD THE NNGA INFORMATION TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY?
NO. Membership, Newsletters and other communications are only circulated among NNGA membership.
I AM A NNGA MEMBER AND I WANT TO TELL NEWCOMERS ABOUT A CHARITY EVENT I’M PROMOTING. CAN I EMAIL MEMBERS WITH THE DETAILS?
NO. If you think the activity is something that our members might be interested in, send the information to the Hospitality and Communication Board Member, who will evaluate the event and either send it or not.
I DIDN’T GET THE NEWSLETTER THIS MONTH – WHAT HAPPENED?
The NNGA monthly Newsletter and Calendar of Events is published on the 25th of each month at 12:00 PM sharp. If you did not receive it, check your ‘spam/junk’ folder in case your server rerouted it. Make sure you have added NNGA to your list of contacts. If you still did not receive it, contact the Newsletter Editor. The phone and email addresses are listed on the Appointed Board Positions and the Activity Facilitators page. Because the Newsletter is sent via a blast email, some computer firewalls will not admit it or you may get a security warning. We are careful only to send safe messages.
CAN NON-MEMBERS SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEWSLETTER?
NO. The Newsletter and Calendar is a benefit of membership and is not circulated beyond Club members.
HOW DO I MAKE A RESERVATION TO GO TO A NNGA ACTIVITY?
When the Newsletter and Calendar are published, there are links to contact the Facilitator to reserve your spot. Just click on the link to send an email. Reservations are always on a first come first serve basis, with a waitlist if needed for cancellations.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I MOVE AWAY FROM THE NNGA CATCHEMENT AREA?
There are no refunds or transfers of membership fees in NNGA. Members who move away from the area are welcome to attend any activity if they are visiting the area, using the same reservation system as when living in the area until the end of that club year.
