<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Becoming an ARRL member or is your membership up for renewal?
<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the benefits of being an ARRL Affiliated Club is a commission for recruiting new ARRL members and securing timely ARRL member renewals. Each new ARRL member earns the club a $15.00 commission. New members are defined as never having
been a member or a returning member that has not been a member for two years. Each renewal earns the club a $5.00 commission. There is no limit to the amount a club can earn in this program. Multiyear memberships earn only one commission. Life, Family, International,
Blind, and Student memberships are not eligible for a commission. The member will not be eligible to receive a gift or incentive if the club collects a commission on the membership. Currently at least 82 BARS members are also ARRL members. If we all renewed
through the club, we could potentially receive $410 per year from the ARRL. If you are interested in renewing your ARRL membership through the club fill out the following form

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is Dan Wiley, KC1VWO, a new member and ham operator. I recently received an invitation to join the ARRL in the mail. I would like to join, but want to ensure BARS receives the credit for my membership when I do. How do I do that,
as I do not see anywhere on the paper application where I can indicate BARS membership.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for the advice.<o:p></o:p></p>
