How to create/log in to your online club account?2017-11-16T15:09:54-08:00

The website maintains a section for registered members.  This section includes photo galleries, etc. that are not available to the general public.  To register to become a website member, please click the yellow register button on the bottom of the navigation bar and then complete and submit the form.

To clarify, registering to become a member of the site is different from joining the club itself.  As this is a new site, one of our first continuous improvement efforts will be to distinguish between these two items so that it’s evident when viewing the home page.

Once you are registered, you can easily log into the site by clicking on Log In at the top of the Navigation Bar.  Enter your username and password, and then complete the simple math box.  The “ReCaptcha” math box helps us keep web site mischief down, as scripts will not be able to automatically logon to our site.
