BTW...

When you click on the link to the renewal page (www.hcanamembers.com), you will see this, before you get to anything that mentions money:

How do we use membership dues?
Class Promotion
Guest Expert Programs
Youth Programs
Standardized Racing
NAs event support
Racer support programs
Regatta materials for fleets and divisions
Racing Seminars
Regatta Insurance

EDIT: It also lists the benefits of the online system.

This info was omitted from the paper form to allow space for the critical renewal data.

Does that answer it?

Surprisingly, the Hotline isn't on that list. Begs the question, what else do we do that you (our members) find valuable?

I ask the same thing in every article that I write for the Hotline: Please send me ideas on how we can improve our value to our members. I rarely get responses...
