MOGO: JS Williams
MoGos, or Monthly Goals, is a challenge in which members set their own goal for the week following the monthly meeting. Then at the end of that week, they report if the goal was met. Members track their goal on the monthly MoGo spreadsheet. For each month a member achieves their goal, they will be entered into the year-end drawing for a $25 gift card.
