The GV/LV is a great tool in bridging the gap to those who travel frequently and or live in rural areas who cannot attend meetings regularly. Everything you need to conduct a meeting is in the GV. That is why it is also known as “Our Meeting in Print”. There are many services and products that the GV/LV has to offer. Log on to www.aagrapevine.org and check it out.
