Notification of Death
If any member knows of the death of an active or past Agent (of the association or not) or, their spouse, please contact Jim Echoff. He will then send a sympathy card on behalf of CGIA Officers and Members. This will only work, if you the membership participate. It will also help, if you can send along the address of any non-member of the association, who has passed. All this information, will help keep the “Crossed the Bar,” list current. Jim can be reached at [email protected] or 916-201-9006 (if no answer, leave voice mail).
