GSFA Magazine - Now Online
GSFA • October 6, 2023
Good Afternoon,
The board has made the decision to only print two (Winter and Spring) of the four magazines that we publish annually. Going forward you will now have access to all published GSFA magazines online! The first issue offered on the online platform is the 2023 Summer Issue.
To access the magazines online you will need to go to the GSFA website: https://www.gsffa.org/ Once you are on the website, you will hover over the Membership dropdown in the menu at the top of the page and select "Member Magazine." Once you have selected "Member Magazine" it will prompt you to enter a password.
The password is: FIRE2023
Please let us know if you have any questions or have trouble accessing the new magazine page.
