@bill120mph. I understand. I am not sure how the badges work. I know I got the “officer” badge when I became a board member. Other than that I have not updated my signature because I mostly use tapatalk for the boards and I don’t see them anyway [emoji3]
To be honest, and I am a member of other 503 clubs (Essex county rabbit breeders association), membership dues don’t go else where often unless membership requests donations to specific causes. Same way with eagles and other organizations.
The perks of the rabbit club is I get to sell rabbits at topsfield fair. Only reason I am a member there. Those meetings are terrible (especially compared to our awesome meeting where stuff gets done!)
I personally joined this club because I appreciate the advice I got from the people on the boards and wanted to show appreciation (plus get in those free grow out contests). Plus now we have a frag show members get in for free.
Now when I get some stuff that I Frag or my anemones split I can toss them up on the forums and get some money back.
Your preference to join or not comes down to you. Anthony may say something that contradicts me with the donations. I believe I will see him Sunday so I will get his butt back on the forums if that is the case!
Btw you should try to make the meetings, they are fun socializing and trading and learning in person.
