Hi to one and all Laser sailors.
I have received a membership attachment from James Appel (the Executive
Director of ILCA NA) and noticed that quite a few Laser sailors have not
re-joined for the 2004 season. For those of you whose membership has
expired,
please send me an email to tell me why. For those of you who have not
received the Laser Sailor and who do not belong to the national email
list,
memberships are now collected at the beginning of the year and is good
until the end of the year. This is a change from previous years when you
could join any time during the year and the membership was good for 12
months. A lot of people are having second thoughts about renewing at the
beginning of the year and if this is the reason you have not re-newed your
membership, please send an email to James Appel at:
james.appel@verizon.net.
If enough members complain, they will probably go back to the old method.
It is also my understanding that you will get a new membership when you
purchase a new boat. You can join the ILCA NA by paying by credit card
on-line or by downloading a PDF membership form and paying by cheque. All
payments are now in US dollars. Please go to: www.laser.org and click on
"how to join". Just a reminder that if you want to compete in sanctioned
ILCA events (ie District 6 Grand Prix and the US Masters), you MUST be a
member.
Thanks,
