First CR/IC area event - Bowling Social!
By CyberJester @ 1:51 PM :: 115 Views :: 0 Comments :: :: Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Area

Hey all come on out and have some fun.

It GIRs bowl'in time, come on out and show your support of the club and have fun at the same time.

Hey all,


Now, I know not everyone is able to make it to every event.  So please if too many events go bye that you can not attend please bring it to my attention through email or PM and I will do my best to make sure that everyone can attend at least a couple of the area events.

Hope to see as many of you at the bowling ally as possible.

NOTE: I have reserved 3 lanes for this event. 

IMPORTANT:  This is not a club sponsored event, all participates will be responsible for the purchase or payment of rentals, Games, food, and Drink.  We do have an area budget and will be doing some club sponsored activities, just want to reserve that for an event that has a little more time for planning and notice to area members.

Membership Renewal Notice Issues
By jbrunken @ 2:39 PM :: 216 Views :: 1 Comments :: :: GIRS News

We recently discovered that our online membership system was not sending reminders properly to people who's club memberships were about to expire.

We've corrected the problem, but unfortunately, many people who signed up at the end of 2007 or the beginning of 2008 had their memberships expire without warning.

If you no longer have access to the member areas of our website, it is very likely that your membership did expire.  You can renew your membership instantly online at the on our "Join GIRS" page.

New Shorter Web Address for Club
By jbrunken @ 9:25 PM :: 234 Views :: 2 Comments :: :: GIRS News

Ever get tired of typing out www.greateriowareefsociety.org?   You're not the only one!   The address for this website is not the easiest one to type or to remember if you happen to be telling someone about the club...

To make things a bit easier, we have registered a few additional names.

http://iowareefs.com
http://iowareefs.org
http://iowareefs.info

All of these will take you right to this website (the "www" is optional).
