[C320-list] FW: West Marine Discount

[Karl Mielenhausen _/)]

Bruce,



It appears that the Hunter associations are organized by geographical regions, not boat lengths. I checked a few of the websites for those associations but could find no specific mention of a WM discount. Could you get more info on how a Hunter member qualifies for it?

In the meantime, I've forwarded your note to the commodores of the largest Catalina associations (22, 30, 34, 36) to see if any of them have a WM benefit for their members and how it is administered. 

We'll make this a topic of discussion at next weeks C320IA Board conference call to see if it is another member benefit we can provide.

Subject: [C320-list] West Marine Discount



I was told over the weekend that the Hunter Association has negotiated a 10%discount for their members on all purchases at West Marine.  Has anyone elseheard of this?  I'm not familiar with the Hunter Association but it soundslike they have one overall Association rather than one for each size boat asis done with the Catalina owners.  This might be something we could pursueor perhaps a Catalina representative is listening in to this listserv andcan run with the ball - an nice additional selling point. Granted if customer received a discount the difference would be in the priceanyway but if Hunter owners are receiving it why should we absorb/pay theadditional costs?
