Important Info: New Member Recognition Event Postponed

Monday, January 10, 2011
We're terribly sorry for the late notice but we will be postponing the New Members Recognition Event (NMRE) that is originally scheduled for January 13th. The new date has not been set but it will be held some time in mid or late February. Please do not show up for the NMRE on the 13th!

We were alerted to a typo on prospective members' invitation letters rather late (which stated that the deadline to join is September 1, 2010 when the letters were sent out after that date). In order to address the confusion and give prospective members more time to join, we've decided to postpone the NMRE.

In the meantime, if you have not joined Golden Key and are interested in doing so - now's your chance!
