The Real Dirt is the bi-monthly newsletter of the MGANM, published in Jan, March, May, July, Sept, and Nov. It is produced by a team of folks who ‘dig-up’ news and interesting topics to share with friends and members. It is our goal to provide a wealth of interesting and useful information from original and local sources. We welcome article submissions, topic ideas, pictures, and the like. Contact Cheryl Gross, Newsletter chair, at grossrichardson@mac.com.
