* The CGS policy and goal is to have memberships mailed out to each new or renewing member at least quarterly the process is explained below.
Vendor Discount Coupons and Membership Card are mailed at least once quarterly as members renew or become members with emphasis of getting them to members in time for the many gourd festivals around the state.
Note: Each member only receives one set of coupons per yearly membership. If you do let your membership lapse then when you do renew you would get a new set of coupons and membership card reflecting your new renewal date. Members that renew their membership for multi years will receive a new set of coupons during their renewal quarter each of those years. You can only use one coupon per vendor a year.
