f you are a member of PARC in 2003, you know already that your membership ends in January and that it's time to think of renewing for next year.  If you're considering joining for the first time, we welcome you to join us.  New or former members are always welcomed.

If you are a current member of PARC, it is now timely to start thinking about renewing your membership for 2004.  If you renew before the December banquet meeting, your name will be entered in a drawing for a free meal. 

If you are a PARC member who is  considering joining the American Radio Relay League, or if you are rejoining after a lapse of 2 years or more, you can really help the PARC treasury by joining via the club. PARC will receive $15 from the ARRL for each membership we process. ARRL membership is now $39 per year, and includes 12 issues of QST magazine.

Something else you might consider at the same time is ordering QSL cards (a portion of the proceeds goes to the club).  You may think $60.00 is a high price to pay, but for what you get (3-color printing on semi-gloss paper), it's actually quite a bargain.  We'd invite comparison with the offerings of any printer who advertises in QST.  PARC QSL cards are only available to members.

We also are looking for tax-deductible donations to various funds (see form below).
