http://www.germanna.org/germana_message_board#comment-217 is a comment I posted some time ago on the Germanna website. Back then, we had three states with no Germanna members, but several with only a few. Does anyone know descendants in these unrepresented or under-represented states who would enjoy a gift membership from you? We're going to be competing for some grants this year on behalf of our members, and it is much stronger to say we have members in 50 states than just 47!
