VVWCA

• If anyone is interested in VVWCA memberships let me know. For our show insurance, we need to have at least 6 active members. As a club, we went ahead and paid for those memberships upfront, so we have memberships to sell or give away. If you’re interested let me know, otherwise we’ll save them for prizes.
