Hi folks in order to try get myself more organized SGC will be posting a bit differently… 

… so instead of posting everything on its own creating numerous posts in one day, which can be annoying for some who get automatic updates and time-consuming for SGC staff…. We are going to try and do combined posts. :)

We appreciate and are open to your comments on this and all of our posts… and if you have an idea or experience you would like to  share with others… please send it along, Click Here to email us…
