What is an "Active" Member And
How to Become One |
How do I become an “Active” Member?
Shipmates can become “Active” members of the Association by paying
annual dues of $10 payable to the “Wood Association”. (Please refer to the
Menu Option above called Paying Your Dues)
What are the benefits of becoming an “Active” member of the Association?
You will be eligible to vote on all business matters of the Association at the
annual business meeting, including election of officers, selection of policies
and procedures and rules of the Association, selecting reunion dates and
locations, and approving all major expenditures of the Association.
- You will receive all Association
communications
- You are eligible to serve as an Association
officer or coordinator
- You will receive periodic printed or email
rosters containing names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of
located living shipmates. Printing costs and mailing costs of rosters are
over $4 each so the Association can only distribute these to Active dues
paying shipmates, generally on a semi-annual basis. Shipmates who can
receive rosters via email are eligible to receive updated electronic rosters
on a more frequent basis.
- You will have the satisfaction of knowing
that you are playing a vital part in furthering the goals of the
Association, and promoting fellowship among former shipmates of the Willie
Wood.
What are the annual expenses of the
Association?
- Printing and mailing costs for annual
communications to the roster of living located crew
- Maintaining the internet based WebOffice for
Association Officers to keep track of members and the dues they have paid.
- Start-up deposits and expenses of reunions
to the extent not covered by reunion fees paid by shipmates
- Annual contributions to the Tin Can Sailors
Destroyer Museum Ship fund
- Semi-annual production and mailings of
shipmate rosters
- General and administrative expenses
