Chapter Coordinator Newsletters

March 2010 Newsletter

by Lee & Liz Niner on March 9, 2010

Hi all - We've been hibernating here on the east coast but the snow is slowly melting and we're ready for the 2010 MGA season to start. Here are some NAMGAR news items. Please share them with the members of your chapter or interest group.

The NAMGAR Board of Directors Annual Meeting was held the last weekend in February. The Board has requested that we share some items that will impact you and your members:

Dues Increase: $37.50 (North America) and $52.50 (Overseas) was approved effective August 1st.
New Membership Incentive: "Three For Free" was approved and John Drake will be honchoing this campaign. Essentially the "Three For Free" program works like this - any current NAMGAR member that encourages three NEW people to join NAMGAR will receive a free year's membership. Look for details shortly from NAMGAR Registrar John Drake.
Membership Cards: This is being developed and will serve to be a real aid to members. The card will contain a member's "membership #" which will be required to log into the "membership area" of the revised NAMGAR web site. Future uses of the membership card are currently being worked on which if successful will provide more benefits to NAMGAR members such as discounts with MGA! advertisers. Watch for announcements in MGA! about this interesting membership benefit.
NAMGAR on Facebook: a new NAMGAR member, Melissa Hay, has set up a "NAMGAR on Facebook" page. The Board is encouraging all NAMGAR members who are also Facebook users to sign up and participate.
Marketing and Communications Manager: Ken Doris has officially stepped down so that chair is now vacant. Please assist the NAMGAR Board and if you know of somebody that would make a good candidate please let George Merryweather know. Please see the NAMGAR web site for the job description.
Remember "Drive Your MGA Day" on May 1, 2010
NAMGAR's revised web site: Peter and Anne Tilbury, Website Coordinators, are in the process of revising the NAMGAR web site. As part of this revision process, chapters can now have their histories and their current newsletter shown. Please contact the Internet Coordinators if you haven't already provided them with info about your chapter.

Lee and Liz,

Met you several NAMGAR events in the past. Thanks for all the work and effort you put into this great organization. Hope to see you on the road on May 1st with your MGA. I have mine ready and with a 5 speed trannie, I may surprise a few drivers on the local Interstate. Safety Fast as always, of course.
