A Question

[Pat Kelly]

I have a question for you all.

How many of you are members of the ACA.

And if not, why not?

All of us should be members of the National club.

Truthfully, I have never even looked into it.... Until late last year, I hadn't even considered joining ANY clubs! So I may join the ACA eventually..... But I've got lots to do before I have the time to think about it!

I'm an ACA Life member.
Although this doesn't answer the whole question, you're one member down and a bit closer to a final answer.

Does the ACA have a "Club Affiliation" program?

Many national special interest groups have a program of united affiliates. You know, like local chapters of the national organization. Does the ACA have a similar setup? If they do, that would create a better line of communication to what is going on. Also, a more meaningful reason to be a member. CCA would be an official ACA affilate. In fact, we could have our dues setup to support the national organization.

The reason why I ask, is the only time I hear from them is prior to the ACA convention. I signed on last year, and got a reminder of the Califonia meet the same week it went off. I'm pretty sure that is the only correspondence I got from them.:unsure:

You get the BB?

Yes we are an affiliate club. Other than the forum and the BB there is not much communication.
interesting point. Most of anything important is in the BB. Used to also be in the Trading post but that is now part of the ACA forum.

Ahh, yes. I have gotten a couple issues. That's a nice perk for membership. It slipped my...errr, old mind. :smashfreakB:

Bobby, you can't forget that. Francine works hard for it. lol

Okay, it was just a question.
I knew someone who had been nominated for the ACA BOT this year but that has changed. Whew.

 

[Pat Kelly]

For those of you who do belong to the ACA, Mo Devlin is running for a BOT position this year.
