MUCC Membership

Erin McDonough from the MUCC made a presentation to the club on February 18, 2010 about the benefits of belonging to the MUCC.  The club needs to be a 100% member participant to belong to the MUCC.  The cost is $5.00 per member and this entitles the members to an electronic copy of the MUCC magazine.  A hard copy of the magazine would be an additional $20.00 to each member that wanted it (members must pay this fee to the membership chairman).  There are 10 digital editions of the MUCC magazine each year and only 6 hard copies printed per year.  After Erin left, a motion was made and seconded to rejoin the MUCC. The motion passed. The club membership chairman will need the E-Mail address of each member that has E-Mail so that they may receive the Digital edition of the MUCC magazine. Please E-Mail your address to the membership chairman Matthew Goodman at trainman169@yahoo.com or the secretary Dennis Goodman at rrcastingman@yahoo.com.
