By Eric Todd

Time to get those membership forms in for 2024. I recognize I am a bit late in posting this, as we already have close to 30 members signed up before the year 2024 has even started. As we keep getting new competitions posted, it is a great time to get the most possible out of your membership. Membership is for the calendar year, so from January 1 to December 31st. Membership applications can be found here: https://www.usawa.com/forms-and-applications/. You can send me check, money order, or cash, or pay online via PayPal.

It is also a good time to renew your club membership, or start a new one if you have a group in your area, and would like to have a club designation or compete for club honors. We already have 6 of the 8 clubs from last year registered. Club Membership application can be found on the same link above. I look forward to having you all join us in 2024!
