DFWMAS Membership

There are a few things you should know before signing up to join the club - which is a different than registering on the forum. You will see that some users have a “Member” logo with a clownfish; others do not. Those users with that logo under their name have paid to become DFWMAS Members.

Membership has its privileges!

In the forums you can see special areas that are just for Members - special sales and giveaways are the best part. We also have a special Members Only Directory where you can list your business. We have special tours and meetings just for Members (e.g. the Summer Social party) You get a discount for Next Wave, our annual conference with nationally-known speakers. And of course, the best reason of all, you support a wonderful club full of helpful, generous people. Once a paid member, you will be added to our email distribution list for our Monthly Newsletter so you will automatically be updated on the latest club happenings and some interesting hobby tidbits.

Things to know before you sign the form:

Make sure you have registered your username on the forum! The user name on this form should be the same as it is on the forum.

If you are using a credit card that does not have your name on it (ie, spouse, parents, etc.) please be sure to note that on the form, so I do not send the card with the wrong name. I assume you have permission to use the card, and the Club holds no responsibility for non-permission.

There are three reasons why the form doesn’t work, and you see an error message:

• Some firewalls interfere with the process. If this happens, turn off the firewall temporarily.
• “New” or “Renewal” must be marked.
• “Regular” or “Junior” must be marked. (Junior membership is for those under 18 years of age. Junior members will not be able to vote in club elections.)
• The credit card must be current, and the name on it must match the name and address of the person on the form.
• It is critically important that your mailing address be accurate and that your email address be current. These are the only two ways we can reach you!

Note: Avatars and membership rights to the members only areas of the forum are usually applied within two days. Cards are issued every two weeks, approximately. (Usually at the monthly meetings and the end of the month.)

THANKS for your interest in the DFWMAS!
