Dear Georgia Pecan Growers and Supporters,

In efforts to be proactive about the ongoing spread of the Coronavirus, the GPGA Annual Conference will be postponed until September 10th and 11th, 2020. This decision was made out of an abundance of caution and with respect to so many of our attendees who travel for this event. The conference will remain in Tifton for the fall event and will essentially combine our Spring conference with our annual Fall Field Day.

The annual conference is the Association’s main fundraiser. The conference is vital for funding GPGA’s operation expenses throughout the year, so your patience and support is greatly appreciated through this unprecedented event and challenging time.

Registration will remain open online until the event occurs in September. All planned events will proceed at the fall event, including the golf tournament, orchard tour, Welcome Reception, and Annual Awards Luncheon, as examples. We will go ahead and hold the Reverse Raffle on March 24, 2020 as an online event via Facebook Live through our Facebook page @GeorgiaPecanGrowersAssociation. The exact time of the drawing is still to be determined and will be announced in follow-up emails. Again, as a fundraiser, we kindly ask for your support and raffle tickets are still available for purchase.

The Jack Thompson Scholarship Award winners will be notified by email and announced via social media and this newsletter on March 25, 2020.

For those of you who have already pre-registered and plan to attend in the fall, you DO NOT have to register again.

For those of you who have not yet registered, you may still do so online or by calling our office.

If you have already registered and would like a refund, please call us at the office at 229-382-2187.

Please understand that there may be a delay in answering calls and communication due to the volume of requests we are receiving at this time and the possibility of operating with significantly reduced office staff. However, we will do our very best to serve you and look forward to the September event!

Thank you!
GPGA Staff & Board of Directors
