Starting a Guppy group can seem like a daunting task but the IGEES has put together a kit to help you get your group up and running in a short period of time. We can provide you with information on on how to recruit members, how to get organized, how to find a meeting place, how to provide fun activities to make your meetings enjoyable to your members, and much more. We are also building a waiting list for members who don't want to start a club but would like to join a local group when one starts up in their area.
