When is the COG published?
Manon Mitchell
 
The COG, the electronic newsletter informing our members of our club's activities and interesting articles, is published approximately every 2 weeks, usually (but not always) the week when we do not have an inperson club meeting. We'd love to send it weekly but it takes about 6 hours to put together so every other week will have to do.
 
You can find the publication dates below and on our website under Members > COG Bulletins 
 
If you'd like to have us publish an article or have an idea about what we should be publishing, please forward your ideas to Manon or Diane by the FRIDAY before the Tuesday publication date.
You are also welcome to contact either Manon or Diane to discuss any idea you may have.
 
Here are this year's publication dates:
July 9, 23
Aug 6, 20
Sep 3, 17
Oct 1, 15, 29
Nov 19
Dec 3, 17, 24 (Xmas edition)
Jan 7, 21
Feb4, 18
Mar 4, 18
Apr 1, 15, 29
May 6, 20
June 3, 17
 
If you enjoy reading the COG, let us know because your comments are the only way we know we are hitting the mark and it is our reward!
Proudly Presenting Our Corporate Members
