[GFCA] Update - GFCA Schedule

[Laura LaChappelle]

May I add to this the suggestion that our fall & spring coaches' meetings
be added to the state calendar *now* for next year? I think I've brought
this up previously, but it would be a big help to those of us who wear
multiple hats at our schools and have to juggle Speech & Debate things with
several other schedules. I'm happy to host one of those, if needed.
