I'd like to encourage all NWCBC members to renew their membership, and invite those of you who have been enjoying the forums to join the club.
If you've been thinking about attending events this year, now's the time to send in your membership app and dues and join in the fun. We have some great events planned this year and would love to have you join us. Our members will tell you that the $35 spent on dues is a great investment, especially for those of us who have needed other member's help during an event. Trust me, if your engine dies at the north end of Lake Sammamish, you launched at the south end, it's cold, the sky is getting darker and the wind from the south is picking up, 35 bucks for the support of folks who throw you a tow rope without being asked seems like a darn good deal. Thanks again Steve.
Since the club was founded, there has been talk from time to time about “what do I get for my membership dues?” Different opinions have been expressed regarding what members should receive for their dues, but the bottom line is that the real benefit is the comradarie, support and friendship of the other members, whether experienced in person or here on the forum. I could never put a price on the experiences I've had and the friends I've made, but if anyone was ever able to it would be a heck of a lot more than 35 bucks.
Another benefit is the advice and guidance for your restoration / repair projects that you'll find on the forum and at our events. Our members are known for their willingness to share their expertise and experience with those who could benefit from it. It wouldn't be hard to find examples on our forum of our members offering advice that easily saved the recipient more than the $35 they would spend on membership dues. Our members generosity is also demonstrated by the fact that I've seen members spend more time assisting someone else at an event than they did enjoying their own boat.
If you're a new member and use Paypal to pay your dues, please send us an email using the “contact us” link at the bottom of the forum page, and copy & paste the Paypal email into the message. As soon as we receive your message we'll change your status on the forum from “web member” to “NWCBC member”. If you pay your dues by check, send us an email and let us know you sent it in and we'll change your status right away. Since your check and membership form are processed by volunteers whose lives are as busy as yours, it can sometimes take a little while for the list of paid members to make it from our Treasurer to our Membership Secretary to the Webmaster.
We have some great events planned for this year, we hope you'll join us and we look forward to seeing you at an event!
