View Full Version : Club Membership
Once a club becomes a PNW4WDA Club, what does the club have to put back into the PNW4WDA? I read, "Each club may send two delegates to monthly region meetings and to association business meetings". Is there more required from the clubs. Do club have to attend PNW4WDA functions or put them on?

Clay from what I have gathered the only responsibility a (CLUB) has to the PNW4WDA is to become incorporated and send in bylaws and a roster with dues yearly.
That is all
So all the PNW4WDA events held, some club volunteers to put them on? Like Summer Convention, Winter Convention and Trail Jam?

Yes...But not Trail Jam, That is an appointed position from People that voulenteer
ie merrick and kim are no longer the Trail Jam commitie heads we just swore in a New couple....
But yes all the events yuou see clubs voulenteer to host them. Like Winter convention 2010 the moonshiners steped up and sent in a bid and the deligates voted to have them host it.

I was asking about the clubs who work it. I know the Shindig Wheelers do a lot for our area and at the Trail Jam. I am guessing more clubs help at the Trail Jam. I have never went and do not know.
Well that answers that. I ask incase our club ever joins or if we make an Individual membership club here in Region 4.

Winter convention, Summer convention, and fall delagets are things that not just one club puts it on with the expetion of 2010 winter convention were the moonshiners are the only ones putting it on because that is what they wanted other wise it is a group effert for those three events.
And the rest of the trail events and races are put on because one club voulenteered to front the cost of the bills that go along with those events but do not make money for them selves but to found other things that benift the PNW4WDA.
trail jam has clubs that host runs on the many different trails Naches has so there are several clubs that help but that is because they love to help the PNW4WDA not because they have to.

No requirements other than pay yearly dues. If the club wants to host and put on events, go for it, Meetings are bid a year in advance, Two or more bids are voted on by the delegates. Under a year, 1st bid takes it. Summer convention is a little different, as under a year, PNW will host.
:thumbup:
Thanks for the great info.
Another question;
I know the PNW4WDA Fees.
(Annual dues for Club membership are $35.00 per member family. Clubs wishing to join the PNW4WDA must have two representatives submit an application, along with a $25.00 application fee to their region director at a regularly scheduled region meeting.)
Does the club have to get a non-profit license from the state too or are they covered under the PNW4WDA?

Yes a club has to be licensed with the state before they become members. I dont think theres any rule as to non profit or profit but I also dont know of any clubs that are listed and "for profit" the tax liability would be a nightmare.

:icon_idea: Maybe that should be in the instructions.

Raise your Hand for Change.Looking at options. This 100% thing is one of the road blocks AWORC has. We have more against joining the PNW4WDA than there are for joining.

That is something a club should know before asking for a packet since there are more things they have to do.

You looked online and could not find what? the State incorporation paperwork? or a Club Membership Packet?

when first I read this I thought Wow what a great Idea have the paperwork on line and new clubs could down load it... Then I thought... We in each region have a Membership chair [person and it is better to get the paperwork from them because yoiu have to come to the region meetings to meet the people to be voted in so it's better to get the packets from the Membership chair so they can tell you the in's and outs about the paperwork and that way we can have a chance to get to know the motivated ones.
Shoot I think Joe Wittig and I went to prolly 6 or 7 meetings before we ever asked for paperwork.
