  • Annual Dues, beginning with 2025 will be as follows:
    • “Primary Membership”: $ 80   ( $45 to JCNA, $35 for our club)
      • Includes ALL immediate family members of the Primary Member at no additional cost.
      • We are eliminating the “Associate Membership” category and dues

      • Includes ALL family members of the Primary Member

  • Will work with HK to invite neighboring sister Clubs to participate, when appropriate

MEMBERSHIP

• HK to work with Bob Fant to review/update existing Member Listing and information

• Goal is to have Membership and Club Treasurer “in sync” with dues paid and current Member information:

• All are encouraged to provide info on any prospective new members; will contact HK if additional solicitation is required/needed to get prospect on-board

• HK to prepare communication to other JCNA Club Members to become an “Affiliate” of our Club;

reaching out to sister clubs in our southeast geographic area specifically, while alerting other JCNA club members to inexpensively become an “Affiliate” member of our club.

OTHER

• Ed suggested that a prospective new repair shop that is interested in locating in our general area consider St. Marys, GA. HK to provide Ed with Greg Weldy’s contact info…
