Membership Renewal Time!

It’s that time of the year – time to renew your USAWA membership! I want to remind everyone that membership in the USAWA is for the calendar year (meaning Jan 1st to Dec 31st). So there’s no reason to wait to join as you might as well enjoy a full years worth of membership versus less if you join at a later time in the year. This is how it has always been in the USAWA, and for good reason. I have heard complaints from lifters joining late in the fall that feel like they’ve been shorted. Well, this is my opinion on this. Why if you are doing your one and only meet in December every year while the other guy is doing his one and only meet in Jan should you not have to buy a full year membership like the other guy?
I always like it when lifters register BEFORE the first of January. I just recieved the FIRST membership of 2018. It came from JIM MALLOY, the great lifter from Cleveland who has been a long time supporter of the USAWA. Jim is always one of the first to get me his check. Plus Jim does every year what very few do – he sends a little extra to the organization in addition to his membership dues. Now please don’t think I’m begging for extra funds as the USAWA is very financially sound – but it is sure appreciated!!!
