Membership drive challenge

Hi all;
 
I've been remiss in not emphasizing another topic I threw out at the last meeting.  
 
If you're at all like me you climb w a variety of folks, both club members and not.  I challenge each of us to recruit one of our non-member friends to join the club by the end of the year.  
 
Why you ask?  
 
First of all - because it's our charter.

Article II.

OBJECT

1. To provide the opportunity for group enjoyment of mountaineering and related activities;

2. To train interested people in mountaineering techniques;

3. To provide public service through specialized mountaineering techniques;

4. To foster the conduct of these activities in a safe manner. 
 
2-  because you're a great group - I've never seen such a level of incedibly positive energy - definitely worth sharing.
 
3-  this is a great time to join.  Anyone joining after 30 SEP won't need to renew until JAN 2010 so essentially gets an extra three months in the deal
 
4-  there's power in numbers - we may be able to negotiate discounts for the group from vrious vendors of stuff (insert your ideas here if you care to)
 
So, lets hit the bricks and see what we can do.  Here's the URL:  http://www.potomacmountainclub.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=28
 
Thanks everyone, you've made this a great year!

P.S.  it wouldn't kill all you list-lurkers (you know who you are) to sign up - and, it would really help the cause
