It’s finally here! The Grand Re-Opening of the TOGA website on Wednesday, 20 December 2023.
We’re offering prizes and deals on Quartermaster Store purchases as part of the Grand Re-Opening.
Here’s a contest with prizes for the winners. On the homepage, we’re showing ten rotating pictures of TOGA leaders. Name them in a Comment to this blog post after 0001 EST on 20 Dec 2023 and you can win.
The first 12 people who get the names correct (or the 12 closest to getting them right) will get a free set of etched glass TOGA tumblers.
Take a walk through our newly re-opened site. Let us know what we should change and how we can make the site user-friendly for our members and those who may be interested in TOGA.
Here are a few deals from our Quartermaster Store to commemorate the Grand Re-Opening.
*Anyone who orders $20 or more from the Quartermaster Store before 31 December 2023 will get a pair of etched glass TOGA tumblers for free with their order.
*Any TOGA member who orders one of our three 25th Anniversary Commemorative items will receive those items at only $2.00 above our cost. (While supplies last.)
For years, dozens of volunteers worked earnestly and dilligently to put together TOGA’s website. It served us well for a long time. It was a convenient location to learn about TOGA and what TOGA was doing. Unfortunately, all that gracious work–sometimes not completely integrated–over that long period of time resulted in a site that became hard to maintain.
Last year, the site began to experience significant problems that resulted in the site going down, various plug-ins failing to work, and a series of other issues. As our webmaster turned off much of the site’s functionality to keep it running, the Board of Directors decided TOGA needed to switch to a modern model. After reviewing a variety of firms, we hired someone who had experience with and a great reputation among other military associations.
After an extended effort to recover data on the site and reenable our plug-ins functionality, we fielded a new, offline version. Shortly after the Muster, we put that new version online. For a few weeks thereafter, we focused on getting our site’s functionality back up to speed and our content correct and current. We think we’re ready now to re-open the site.
We hope this Grand Re-Opening of the site will help to regain your interest in visiting the site and be part of enabling TOGA to thrive for another 25 years.
