Dear readers:

As we move into March, The Moultrie Observer is preparing its annual Community Guide.

This will be the 17th edition of the Guide, which includes information about a variety of local governments and other organizations throughout the community.

One section of the Guide focuses on civic groups, such as clubs, support groups and similar organizations. If you are a member of such a group, please contact us with the following information:

• Name of the group.

• Name of a contact person and a way to reach them (phone number, email or both). This will be published so that members of the community interested in your group can learn more about it.

• Purpose.

• Major activities.

• Meeting schedule.

• Eligibility. Who can become a member and how do they do it?

• Dues.

As an example, here’s an entry from last year:
