is having its 17th annual March Membership Drive. We have a goal this year of 200 new or renewed members. Everyone who joins or renews during March will be entered into a drawing, plus we're having a chapter contest to see which chapter can have the most new and renewal memberships. Once the final membership numbers have been tallied, we will draw to see who the lucky winners will be.

We understand some of you that renewed in 2022 did not receive their memberships packets. Membership is working to resolve this issue, and please be assured this year’s packets will be sent out in a timely fashion.

Member Contest

will be giving away a total of 12 individual prizes this year. Everyone who joins or renews during March will be automatically entered for 10 of the prizes, plus there will be 2 “early bird” prizes. The details on these new prizes will be coming very soon.

Chapter Contest

There is also 1 prize for the Top Dog Chapter. Can Sierra pull it off again? Or, will you help your chapter become Top Dog?

We need all the help we can get from members and chapters to reach our goal of 200 new and renewal memberships. We're again having a contest to see which chapter will bring in the most memberships, based on percentage. The chapter with the most new and renewal memberships will be the winner and receive a prize announced shortly to be used in a raffle of their own. They will also be known as the Top Dog Chapter that kicked ass and got the job done.

So, if you are thinking about joining or renewing or know someone who has been thinking about renewing or joining, there is no better time that the present.
Please note: One membership per person to count toward chapter competition and for individual prizes.

We're coming to the last few days of the March Membership Drive.

We've tried to reduce the number of postings this year, as some folks complained that there were too many in the past.

However, we still need to have a final push for new members and renewals. Please help support your club. Remember this isn't a forum with a club; it's a club first, with a forum for lasting tech content.

As of 03/27, these are the stats for the various chapters:


Colorado - 32.0%
MidWest - 33.8%
North Atlantic - 8.7%
Northwest - 14.3%
Red River - 12.5%
Sierra - 19.6%
SoCal - 20.8%
SouthEast - 33.3%


South East is making a strong showing, but MidWest is slightly in the lead. Sierra has pulled it out for the last two years; can they do it a third time?
Remember, there is an additional prize for the “Top Dog” chapter, as well as ten individual prizes this year. So, get those renewals in while there is still time, and get your friends to join as well.
