Membership To increase the convenience for our members and reduce the complexity for the meet directors we decided to raise the cost of member ship and make meets free for members. The new membership rates will be $25 for individuals and $35 for families. This structure will be tried for one year to determine the convenience and financial impact. Joseph will work with Ron to get the rate structure going for the September 7 meet.

Meet Fees The new rate structure for non-members will be: $5 entry fee (includes compass) $1 to purchase a whistle $2 for extra maps

A-Meet A tentative date of April 9 and 10 of 2005 has been set for the next A-meet. Plans are to re-map Umstead State Park and have the meet on the Crabtree Section. We will have to avoid using that part of the park starting in early 2004.
