As of FEB 2021, we are 64% of the way to our membership target of 225 paid members for 2021. We have exceeded our membership goal of 102 life members (112% of that goal) ; 36% of the way toward our annual renewal goal and 24% of the way toward our new member target. Our current incentive is a referral program whereby for any two new members or 3 renewals, a member will receive a Poker Chip free of charge. New or renewing members need only identify who referred them (e.g. Joe sent me). This program runs through Seicehprey Day, 2021. Stubby says, "Renew today!"
