PLEASE BE ON GUARD

PLEASE BE ON GUARD regarding false CGOA renewal notices.

Do not be fooled. It has come to our attention that a "renewal" notice has been mailed to CGOA members for a subscription to Crochet! magazine by a company called Publishers Billing Exchange.

PLEASE NOTE that this company is NOT - I repeat, NOT - affiliated in any way with CGOA. Nor is Publishers Billing Exchange affiliated with Crochet! magazine.

If you respond with a renewal order to Publishers Billing Exchange, thinking that you are renewing your CGOA membership and member subscription, you are wrong! We do not want you to be misled. CGOA wants to make sure that you don't pay for a renewal that doesn't include your full CGOA benefits!

Any true CGOA membership renewal notice will always state clearly that it is from CGOA.

If you have any question regarding your CGOA membership renewal status, feel free to contact CGOA@CGOA.com or call CGOA headquarters at 740-452-4541.

CROCHET!

As quoted from the President's Letter, by Nancy Brown, in Chain Link Vol.15 #4 As we approach summer and perhaps have time to crochet, create, and reflect, or maybe just catch our breath, I would like to take a moment to thank Carol Alexander, editor of Crochet! the official magazine of the Crochet Guild of America. Carol and her staff have brought crochet into the realm of "trendy." Not only are the fashions, cute, fun to crochet, and up-to-date, but Crochet! also has the latest in fashion accessories, adorable baby items and patterns that appeal to alllevels of our members. I am thrilled with each and every issue, look forward to the next edition, and am very proud to be a member of the CGOA. We have come a long way. Crochet is hotter than ever, and I think that our magazine reflects this growing trend.

Crochet! magazine is produced and published solely by Dynamic Resources Group (DRG) and is available on the newsstands. By agreement with CGOA, the magazine serves as the "official publication of CGOA" and CGOA members receive a free subscription. Tucked into each CGOA member copy is the CGOA newsletter "Chain Link".
