Latest News
(NEW!) The GCCG website has just been rebuilt from the ground up to hopefully make it faster on the front end, and easier to maintain on the back end. As part of this process, all user data was transferred over to the new version of the site, and should work as before. However, if you run into a problem logging in, you may need to reset your password using the “Lost Password” option on the login screen. If you have any problems or spot any errors in the new site (typos, bad links, etc.), please contact the Admin (Jed Dorman).
The latest issue of Vorläufer (Vol. 206, April 2026) is available for members to access in the Vorläufer archives. Digital and hard-copies should be going out to members soon.
