FYI – the ACA is changing their membership program for next year, to “simplify” it. Basically Individual memberships have dropped from $40 (or $30 for us PaddleAmerica Club members) to $25. They are also eliminating Family memberships (was $60 or $40 for PaddleAmerica), so your spouse and children will be considered Individual members (at $25 each). They have eliminated Junior memberships, Senior (>62) memberships (which were both $25 already), and the introductory 6 month ($15) memberships. It appears the SEIC fee for Instructors has gone up from $25 to $35. The Event fee for non-ACA members to participate in events like the race, clinic, etc. remains at $5.
The MWA membership form, which includes options to join ACA and pay SEIC fees, is being updated. As always, it’s easier and faster to renew or join ACA (and MWA) on-line. The on-line MWA membership form links to the on-line ACA webpage. Note the ACA membership website will be offline for the next few weeks to make their changes.
