2009 MEMBERSHIP DRIVE, JANUARY RESULTS
The January results are in and we have a winner of the first Hobie harness!!! An eblast will be going out this week with the person's name (hint, he lives in Iowa)...
We're off to an incredible start for 2009. By Jan 31, we had 268 members already renewed. THANK YOU ALL!!!
In case you've been living under a rock...
It’s time to join / 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! (
See the bottom of this message for a detailed list of HCA membership benefits.) First, we are having a special series of raffles. We're 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:
The January raffle is now closed. If you renewed by Jan 31, THANK YOU, and you're automatically eligible for the next two drawings...
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.
Later in the year, we will be having a Divisional contest. We want to see which Divisions can grow the most, and who can be the biggest overall. Details of this will follow, but the only way you can win is to pay your dues, and get lots of others to do the same!
