About our blog... 3rd & final posting
The editorDear readers,
Our blog has posted over 800 days of information for our membership since it was first created in January, 2015. During that time, we have slowly gained readers from our membership and anyone else that may follow our blog. However, with a membership of over 1100 members the percentage of members who have subscribed to receive the blog via email remains in the low teen's and readers from our website is minimal. It's time to ask "Is it worthwhile for The VGS to continue a daily blog?"
I would like your feedback through a very short survey that you can complete in less than a minute.
Thank you to the 57 people who completed the survey from requests from the past two days. If you haven't already taken the survey, please take the survey right now, and thank you for your response. This will be your final opportunity to take this two question survey.
