[C320-List] C320 Association

Hi Jon,

     This is something that the Catalina 320 International 
Association has not been
particularly good at doing over the years.

      Actually, this association is funded by the annual dues our 
members pay.   The
fee is (roughly) $24 per year, or a bit less if you don't get the 
Mainsheet magazine.

     People who buy a new C320 automatically get their first year's 
dues paid for by
Catalina, assuming that the dealer submits the information.

     These fees help fund the annual regattas,  the website (which is 
trivial in cost),
and other necessary things.   We could do alot more, but we just need 
suggestions.

     I encourage everyone to Officially join our association, as it 
will enable us to do
more things as a group.

Maybe Pat or Russ might want to comment on what percentage of C320 owners
are actually dues paying association members.

Cheers!
-Jeff
