Ok, now that I have your attention, currently in the Chesapeake
Association we have some 60 members who do not have current USS
Cards. For liability purposes all skaters who partake in a club
organized practices, attend meets, or any other USS sactioned
activity must have a current USS card. Cards are good for 1 year
from the date of purchase so there is no reason to put it off any
more.

Secondly, there are some 40 USS members with Chesapeake on their
membership who do not have current Association Memberships. In
order to skate Nationals you must be a member in good standing with
the Association, that means you need to pay your dues. There are
several skaters registered for Nationals that do not have
Association approval for Nationals due to the fact they are not
association members.

We need to protect ourselves, coaches, clubs and the Association,
so please get your memberships up to date. We will not take any
action on these issues until February 15th, get it done now and save
yourself a lot of hassles later.
