I feel you and it was a topic at the meeting last weekend. Here's the deal - Darline was our web liaison and worked on our website. I tried to muddle through, but really, Lee Parks in RI is the only one who's kept the MHC site going.
Is there anyone willing to pitch in as the new web person? Not much maintenance, but we're due for a new look and the Golden Anchor button is crucial.

All those in favor of Tad running the new Golden Anchor website (3 year term limit unless we can't find anyone else) please vote now before Tad finds out. Robyn and I vote in favor!

Posts: 490 | Following the meeting in Phoenix, I was under the presumption that "Golden Anchor" had been changed to the Member Partner Program. Is there a special GA button for just multihulls? Has the MHC joined the MPP? Try http://membership.ussailing.org/sailors.htm. | | | Re: Why is it so hard to join US Sailing online

Glad that it is getting sorted out finally.

Glad that it is getting sorted out finally. I did pretty much the same thing and never could get associated with GA either. As a result, I am just a plainole member.

On a side note Gary Job Jobson along with John Williams have made a very positive impact at U.S. Sailing. Granted we have a long way to go but we are moving in a much better direction.
