Ron, I'm happy to hear you are a member of AAGP (I am the board secretary) and are reading all of our emails. This registration issue is not going to go away for a while. We are actively trying to get a handle on registration and insurance issues through the AAGP authority committee. If you are interested in joining us (I am chair of the committee) just let me know.
I am sooo new to this that I'm going to do something wrong-forget a widget, add a widget where one doesn't belong, or maybe step on a widget. I just told my daughter (13) that I have my first friend request and I was happy until she busted my bubble and told me that some of these have a default "friend". I won't let her rain on my parade though (after all, we are in the plywood, I mean sunshine, state). Anyway, like I said I am totally new to this stuff, I don't know how to navigate this site but I will spend some time learning. Too, I don't know what a gift is, but I don't know you well enough to give you one anyway. Ah, I love learning new things.
Hello Ron and welcome to the For GrantWriters Only learning community. I am so glad you joined! Given your experience, I know your input will be valuable.
Thanks for jumping right in and joining some groups, too!!
