Happy New Year, MOGA members and friends! 2021 is now here. Throughout 2020, we were able to comply with the social distancing guidelines and continue with our weekly schedule of tournaments. We will approach the new year in the same manner and provide all our members the opportunity to come out and enjoy their MOGA Thursdays.
