HCCA Membership Card – Can’t find your HCCA Membership Card? No problem. Per President Jim Skillicorn: “Members can now print their own membership cards via the website under their Member Profile.” Tracy will include this in the Gazette, so check there for details. Now you can be an HCCA Card Carrying Member again.
-
HCCA Merchandise Update – As you well know, credit cards are a real convenience. Especially when purchasing vital necessities of life, like an HCCA Sweatshirt or a Hat, or even your HCCA Membership. So many members are doing this now, that the Club will be recouping part of the cost, and adding it to the price of the purchase. Don’t be surprised to see an extra 3% Credit Card expense fee on your receipt. This is a change that really helps the HCCA Club finances.
