ALL FOR JUST ABOUT A DOLLAR A WEEK…….

We have all heard the comment that this Association is “All about the money”, and this prevents some folks from joining the Association. They may participate with their local Chapter but won’t take the next step in joining GWRRA. I won’t deny that it takes money to run this GREAT Association, but let’s look at it a little closer…

How much does it REALLY cost to belong to GWRRA? Let’s break it down, looking at a Family membership for just one year. If you own a Gold Wing, that is the most expensive option….$55 for one year for you and your entire family. Let’s break that cost down:

Cost of Membership
Per Month: $4.58 ~ Per Week: $1.15 ~ Per Day: $0.16

So your membership cost is only a little over a dollar a week. This is less than the cost of one soda at your local Quick Stop! Here is what you miss if you are only participating:

With all of this, there is STILL more to tell, and it is probably as important as all the items listed above. As we are probably all aware, just a month or so ago fires were ravaging southern California. Countless people were driven from their homes and businesses as the fires continued to spread. The following was written by the California District Director’s, Anita & JR Alkire, regarding the ordeal…....

...I know that we hear about this great big family, and I got to experience it right close and personal this week. It was absolutely incredible to know that we were all in so many folks prayers and thoughts, and we will continue to need them as we start to rebuild… When someone comes to you and asks what you get for your GWRRA dues, start with this, the intangible until something happens, and it becomes tangible to you. We may offer many tangible items that GWRRA lists on their website, but none of them can compare to the family you get who is there for you before you even know you need them! Some folks think it’s okay to “hitchhike” along with us, coming to gatherings, some even wearing our “colors”. They don’t want to make that nominal financial commitment that allows them to stand with this motto, and be in the family that will stand beside you, who sometimes takes the lead and who sometimes follow up the rear to take care of you, and share with you all the love, kindness and caring that comes from being a family member in GWRRA...

We have a marvelous Association comprised of friends from all over the world. Friends you would never have met without GWRRA. You have the opportunity to use the free classified ads in Wing World magazine, along with Technical Tips for the infrequent repairs needed for your Wing. You get discounted prices on all District, Region and National Rallies and events. I believe the question really comes down to…. why you WOULDN’T want to join.

Where else can you do all this for just 16 cents a day?

We are Listening. What is your Solution?
