    BEARINGS - NLSC Newsletter - JANUARY, 2012
    • Our "Bearings" newsletters are in the "Members Only" area on the website and are now accessible only to members of Northern Lights Sailing Club.
    • The current issue is now available online. Click the link above.
    • Large PDF file - may take time to download
    • Other recent issues


    ON-LINE EASY MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL PROCESS
    • We still are retaining the current process for membership renewal - complete the paper membership form, then mail it in with your check.
    • But there is an easier way: Current members may now renew their membership for 2012 on-line, using our NLSC website.
      • Log in to our Members Only section.
      • Then select NLSC Membership and choose how you wish to renew your membership.
      • Or: log in, then click here
        • If you then select the on-line renewal process, here's what happens:
          • A screen comes up, explaining what to do. In one click, you apply for your 2012 membership renewal.
          • Renewing on-line means that you accept our disclaimer.
          • This then brings up your personal data. Make any changes from your current information, then submit the form. Minimum: one-click to submit the data.
          • Finally, you will get instructions on where to mail in a check for your dues payment.
    • Note that dual members will both have to log in and renew their memberships separately.
    • You do not have to complete the membership form, since the data is already in our on-line database, and our Membership Chairs will not have to enter all this information into our database - the website does it automagically (sic), and most of it is already in there.

    MEMBERSHIP PHOTO ALBUM: {Photographs and names of current NLSC members}
    • Your club historian and webmaster have created a PHOTO DIRECTORY inside the MEMBERS ONLY section of our NLSC website.
    • People will have to login as an NLSC member in order to access this photo directory.
    • If we do not yet have your photo and permission to display it, please see below.
    • People who have not paid their dues for the current year (2011) will not be included in this photo directory.
        • NOT SURE IF YOUR DUES ARE CURRENT?
        • Try to login to this website.
        • If you can't get in or are not sure if you are a member, please contact our Membership Chair, Marge Collins, to pay your dues and become an active member.
        IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED in this photo directory, please:
        • E-mail a digital photo as an attachment to: nlsc_mail@yahoo.com
        • Put PHOTO DIRECTORY as the subject
        • In the body of the E-mail, put your statement of permission to include your name with your photo in the photo directory.
        • OR catch Ilona Rouda at a NLSC event, ask her to take a photo, and sign the permission form.
