Please join us on Saturday from 1:00-3:00pm as we gather to talk geocaching adventures, reconnect with old friends, make new friends, and enjoy the fun activities of the day. Expect milestones, upcoming announcements, and hopefully decent weather. There will be a presentation with a station tour and maybe some fun games with fabulous prizes. Maddog1973 will be doing a portion of the presentation of the Alpharetta Volunteer Fire Corp apparatus as he volunteers his time here. Our usual meeting agenda will start at 1:00pm with the tour starting around 1:30pm which should be about an hour long in which we will also be doing some fun things while this is going on. Then prizes will be awarded.

GGA News:It's time for the Final Vote for the 2026 GGA coin design. Thank you for all the responses to narrow down the choices. The top five are now ready to be voted on. Good luck to all our coin designers. Get your final vote in by March 12, 2026 at midnight. Lets see which one will rise to the top. Use the link below to get to the voting form. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSepH97pn7DGPgFHphjVf4U9DMRYgBLBoG7l2l3-9BMWd70JRg/viewform?usp=dialog It is time for the 2026 GGA coin design. As usual, there are minimal restrictions on the design and we encourage multiple submissions (up to 3 per person). Submission will be done via the GGA email - gageoadm@gmail.com You have from now until midnight Feb. 28th, 2026 to submit your final designs. You can submit your artwork and then adjust or refine until that date/time. Voting opens on March 2, 2026 and closes at midnight on March 8, 2026 The only requirements: The year 2026 must be included somewhere in the design. ‘GGA’ or ‘Georgia Geocachers Association’ has to be in the design. Keep the design theme family-friendly. Submissions need to include a standard image file format (.JPG or .PNG). If your design requires a specific color of metal, or has a 3D component, be sure to detail that. If this is part of the winning design, we will at least get estimates on the cost of these extra items. FAQs: 1. The coins will be trackable on geocaching.com. The words ‘Track this coin at www.geocaching.com’ and the six-digit trackable code/number can be on the back of the coin or on the rim; designer’s choice. 2. The winner receives two of the coins. 3. The standard round shape is fine, but other shapes are also welcome. 4. If you have submitted artwork before and it was not chosen in an earlier year, feel free to submit it again -- with the updated information. 5. A limited edition of 100 coins will be made.
