GSIA Meetings

The GSIA typically has its monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of the month. Members and guests tend to arrive around 11:30 to 11:45, bringing their own lunches, and socializing before the speaker begins. The program then starts at noon, and usually runs until 1:30.

You can subscribe to a calendar of community events that will populate a calendar with GSIA events and events of other congregations and faith communities and agencies and services in our community. This is the link to the subscription to the calendar.
