Membership Drive
by Al Myers
It’s now December and the time to start sending me USAWA membership dues for the 2011 year. I already have a couple – from Jim Malloy and John Wilmot. I will start the 2011 Membership Roster soon – so if you want your “join date” to say January 1st beside your name – you have a month to get it done! Membership dues are still the same at $25 per year, with USAWA membership running from the first of January till the end of December. No longer will there be any “rollover” memberships like there has been in the past. I will be very firm with this. Dues are our only means of financial income for our organization and I take that very serious. Also – $25 per year is a bargain!
A couple of important things to consider when filling out your membership application: make sure you list the club you are affiliated with because this is important in the calculation for club of the year, and make sure you include the
SIGNED drug waiver. If not – you will be tested at EVERY EVENT you attend (just kiddin’). The drug waiver is part of the application and your membership will not be active until I receive it. If you forget, I will remind you and it will cost you another stamp.
For 2010, the Dino Gym had the most registered USAWA members with 13, followed by the JWC and Clark’s Gym with 6. Habecker’s Gym was next in line with 5 members. Overall to date, we have 61 members. Next year I would like to see us over 100 members.
The Membership Application is located on the upper left column of the website under “USAWA Information – Forms and Applications”. You might as well send it in now as it doesn’t get any cheaper if you wait!!
