If you were a paid HCA member in 2008, you should have received a cool calendar from Hobie Cat by now.

And, you should have received the eblast from Rich... But, in case you missed it (or you weren't a member in 2008):


ANNOUNCING SOME MEMBERSHIP DRIVES FOR 2009…

It’s time to renew your HCA membership for 2009. We want to encourage EARLY renewals this year, to minimize the early- and mid-season scrambles. So, we’ve come up with some extra incentives!

We will be having a special series of raffles. We will be drawing for prizes based on paid memberships at the end of January, February and March. You will have up to three chances to win a new harness for your Hobie. Here’s how this will work:

* Memberships paid online, or postmarked by 1/31/09, will be eligible for the first harness raffle, AND the subsequent raffles on 2/28/09 and 3/31/09. Join early, get THREE chances to win!!!

* Memberships paid online, or postmarked by 2/28/09, will be eligible for the second harness raffle, AND the subsequent raffle on 3/31/09. So, you’d have TWO chances to win!!

* Memberships paid online, or postmarked by 3/31/09, will be eligible for the final harness raffle.

So far, the response has been tremendous!

So, stop what you're doing and renew your membership (or join for the first time)!

[NOTE: We've made some recent upgrades, and the online system works great for most people. If you have troubles, or just prefer using paper, just send me a check and paper form (see link below). Don't panic, don't air dirty laundry here, just step away from the computer and send in a check...]
