Welcome to our new monthly newsletter, AFGG At-A-Glance. It’s a useful way to stay informed about AFGG and as a reminder about our upcoming programming.  You’ll still receive email blasts from us, as well as our newsletter three times a year.  Our newsletters are also archived on our website, and you can reread those anytime by going here.
 
We’ve got a terrific array of events coming up including a Georgian Group excursion to the Lake District of Cumbria, England in May, which is in addition to our October trip to Scotland.  These trips present exclusive opportunities to see incredible examples of Georgian architecture and interiors.  The autumn trip is the highlight of our year and spaces are limited so reserve your spot early.  For more details and information about both of these trips please visit our calendar page.
 
And please let us know what you think about our new monthly format. 
 
See you soon,
John Kinnear, President
