Member's Only section of GGYC.com

All members now have a unique login username and password that allows access to the “Members Only” section of our website, GGYC.com.  All members will have a unique username and password, including each family member registered under a Family Membership.

Accessing this section is easy and can be done from the homepage (www.GGYC.com) by clicking the “LOGIN” button in the top right corner of the page.  From here, enter your username and password as described below.

Your username is initially set to your first initial followed by your last name.  For example, John Smith would have a username of “jsmith.”  Your password is currently set to the same as your username.  Our system requires that passwords have at least 6 characters, so members with last names of 4 letters or less should add “1” to the end of their password until 6 characters are reached.  For example, John Doe would have username “jdoe” but password “jdoe11.”
