Membership renewals were mailed at the end of October and second notices in the beginning of December. We have moved the deadline for inclusion in the 2005 Directory to January 15, 2005. Please mail your payments to Headquarters to continue your membership in ACBS.
 

Hopefully your chapter has supplied to Headquarters a listing of the new Officers for 2005. This allows a line of communication to be formed so we can better serve the chapter. Encourage your chapter to submit your boat show to the Rudder calendar of events. A form is available to provide the important details needed. A separate submission is required for the web site; go to www.acbs.org  and you may submit your events along with links for registrations for the web site on line.
 

An important member benefit that few take advantage of is a free listing in the Trading Dock. Looking to sell a boat? Please consider using our classifieds. One ad per year is free! See the details in the classified section.
 

Have a boat related business that you would like to promote to the ACBS membership? Consider taking out an ad in the directory Yellow Pages. A single ad for members is $75 and additional ads under other headings are $25. It’s a great way to keep your phone numbers and business information readily available to your customers, as well as attract new customers.
