Taking pictures......fun and free
Talking about your tank....... more fun and free
Submitting for TOTM...... easy and free
Seeing your tank win TOTY an over $1000.00 in prizes.......... P R I C E L E S S !!!!

I have received this for my measly $25 yearly fee:
-countless discounts at lfs
-access to some great raffles
-won a $300 skimmer
-won $1000 for TOTY

so my only question is ........ what is stopping you from paying your $25 and entering your tank for TOTM?

Thanks again MAAST!

[BIGBIRD123]

I TOTALLY agree....

I've won a $300 skimmer
I won a 90g RR tank and stand
Hundreds of $$$ discount from LFS

You can do the same...Ask Me How? The BEST $25 you can spend on your tank!

Steve

[lhoy]

I won a trip to MACNA 06!!! I have received who knows how many discounts at stores!!!

Thanks to all the LFS who participate in the discount program!

I won an $800 skimmer for $5 at a raffle, thanks MAAST, RCA and Carlos. I took advantage of other offers to get coral frags, raffle tickets and other swag by paying for my 2008 dues back around May of 2007. With my $25 I won from my TOTM awards I asked that it be directed for my 2009 dues (still waiting to hear back about that). And not to forget the hundreds I've saved at the LFS's.

[captexas]

From now on I'm getting Steve and the 2 Mike's to purchase my raffle tickets! :bigsmile:

Even without the prizes, it's still a good deal with the LFS discounts, it allows for having monthly meetings, and it keeps our wonderful website running.

[MissT]

not to mention the awesome support group from all the members and "secret" forums LOL

[dapettit]

My membership paid for itself in 2 weeks. I also won some goodies as well. The BEST $25.00 I ever spent.

BTW, when can we start renewing our membership for next year?

[Darth-Tater]

I became a charter member right after I bought in 2005. I have saved hundreds of dollars in the last 3 yrs. Plus it is like cheers when I walk into a lfs or maast meeting everyone yells out "TATER" of course very few know me as David :rofl: Mmmm maybe that is a good thing. just this past Sunday I won a pkg of supplements worth about $40.00.

[secretweapons22]

How does one become "Chartered"?

[fjr_wertheimber]

To get "Chartered" you pay your yearly dues ($25) either via PayPal or in person at the meeting (or via snail mail). Well worth the $ IMHO.
Oh, and then you have to learn the secret handshake. And then... wait, I can't tell you about that last one until after you join. Don't worry, it's only illegal in 23 states. It was 22, but Alaska decided to be "progessive" in its legislation. Really.

(No, not really. It's a joke. But the $25 IS well worth it, no joke.)

[Sherri]

Well, fjr....looks like ya gotta let secretweapon in on the secret handshake....he's a bonafide Charter Member himself now....:bigsmile:

Paid my 25 bucks one day...saved it the next at my first trip to River City...Thanks!

So worth it...and I have not even been to a meeting yet!

[Mr Cob]

I recently became a Charter Member and will say that as a web member for the last six months I have earned the $25 membership fee back time and time again from all of the hookups and unlimited advice from the seasoned veterans of this club.

The $25 donation was the least I could do....and after paying it a whole new world just opened up....it's like playing a video game and I unlocked a few doors. I was dieing to see what was inside the forums that I couldn't get access to as a web member LOL. 10% off every time I shop at a sponsor's shop too...and that adds up for sure!

Thanks Maastards.

[the CL poster]

random thought:

how about bi-annnual memberships? for people who arent too sure wether or not theyre going to stay in the hobby. ive seen alot of people come and go, some of em charter members.

just a thought

[BIGBIRD123]

It's not a bad idea but it just creates more for our already-overloaded treasurer. Also, not trying to sound rude or condescending...For what most Charters have saved...$25 is a drop in the bucket. My first tank set-up as a Charter Member, I saved twice the dues.

If your in the hobby, even for 6 months, you'll easily get that $25 back at least twice. All of the sponsers give great discounts.

[SoLiD]

I agree... The cost of a Charter Membership is minimal when compared to your overall discounts.

[seatrueblue]

Just curious,
I paid for my charter membership at the meeting. When will web member change to charter member? When the check clears? I wish I could have paid in cash but they said the atms were broken.

[BIGBIRD123]

It should change as soon as the Treasurer turns in the info to the webmaster.

tate - it is one year from payment.

[Rychek]

12 months from time of payment.

[tate1]

Thanks Ace!

[Sherri]

Are dues good for 12 months following payment or does everyones membership start and end at the same time?

tate...also, FYI, when sending in annual memberships, it is important to include your MAAST sign in name, correct mailing address & email address so we can get you upgraded without delay to Charter Member and a new membership card in the mail to you. :)

different ways to make payments:

1) PayPal to treasurer@maast.org

2) Snail mail to MAAST P.O. Box 780582 San Antonio, TX 78278

3) Sign up at regular monthly meetings

[BigMc]

Sounds good. Are all the fish stores offering discounts in the S.A. area or Austin too? Is there a list of participating stores?
Thanks!

[Jolly]

To all the Charter members , forget about all the free stuff, I just want to thank you for all the information I have received in getting started in a very relaxing hobby, that can be very rewarding, yet totaly frustrating if you take the wrong steps,and brother I have taken a few. I am going to join asap. Remember $25.00 will hardly buy one fish. Where do I send my money? My # (210)590-1775 or e-mail me at trainmaster73@satx.rr.com

[cpreefguy]

Hey Joshua, you can send payment to:

[cbianco]

I had heard of a $300 payment...is there a life-time charter mbrship, which eliminates annual dues of $25/year?

To the best of my knowledge there are only 3 types of memberships: junior, full and sponsor. Each of these memberships are yearly. Here is an excerpt from Our By Laws,


ARTICLE III – MEMBERSHIP

Section 3. Rights and Privileges of Membership

Section 4. Membership Dues
Paragraph 1: The members of the organization will be subject to the annual dues of $15 for the Junior Individual & $25 for Full Individual membership. Sponsor/Commercial Membership requires the donation of goods and/or services to the organization in an amount and for a period of time agreed to by the Board of Directors. Membership dues are renewable at the start of the fiscal year.

Christopher

[los.tejanos83]

thanks!

[Sherri]

Full Name

You also have the option to sign up at a meeting...or mail payment with the same requested info as above to:

How do I become a charter member?

[Regric25]

http://www.maast.org/content.php?19-MaastMembership Sarah, check out this link for how to mecome a charter member.

[Kristy]

You beat me to it! I was all set with my copy and paste from the home page (About Us):


Dues are $25 for a year long membership which starts from the date of payment. These dues quickly pay for themselves by the discounts given that many local stores honor to MAAST members.



We are trying to make our club better, having more educational meetings, more door prizes, raffle items and guest speakers. We also have the routine maintenance items like website, food for meetings,, membership dues to national marine organizations, and print/publication fee's. Membership dues allow our club to keep afloat and make all of this possible. As always, the website portion of the club remains free but charters due get some perks.



Why collect dues?

Keep MAAST afloat.

Funds club meetings so the host doesn't have to pay for it all out of pocket.

Allows for website improvements / maintanence.

Allows us to bring in "expert" spearkers at meetings

Higher quality raffles, higher quality meetings, higher quality club!

Eligibility to run for a club office or be appointed to a committee.

Eligibility to VOTE!

Discounts at participating LFS's and online vendors

A membership card

A voice to represent Aquarists' interests.

For more information concerning Charter status, please read our By-laws.


The membership dues are $25.00. Payment can be made either at meetings, online via paypal, or with a check mailed to our P.O. box below:


If you use paypal please include your screen name, real name, email, home address and phone and send paypal to : treasurer@maast.org (http://www.maast.org/payments.php)


or vie snail mail to:
MAAST
P.O.Box 780582
San Antonio, Tx 78278


Thanks for everyones help and support with this great organization!

[Regric25]

HAHA! I try and be helpful :D

[Sherri]

Thanks to both of you...you beat me to it also. Sarah...whatever method of paying dues you take...it will come to me for processing...and I will confirm receipt with you also...

[alton]

I don't have pay pal, so I pay at the meetings each year

[DarkHorseMBA]

Is there a list of vendors that offer a MAAST Discount?

[loans_n_fishes]

I absolutely LOVE MAAST! The prizes and discounts are nice, but it is the generosity, moral support and fellowship that is worth every penny. Lots of "pay it forward" people in this group. BTW when and where is the next meeting? Missed you guys!

[Regric25]

@ DarkHorseMBA --- Most of the vendors that offer the discount are our MAAST sponsors on the sponsors list in the main Forum page. All you have to do is ask if they offer a MAAST discount at the LFS and they will let you know. Hope this helps!

[tonyydeee]

should i become a charter member if i dont live in SA?
idk if lfs here gives discounts

i live in c.c should i still become one?

[txg8gxp]

This is up too you, LFS discounts was the last reason I became a charter member. I felt it was my small way to give back to the group for everything I get out of it.

[tonyydeee]

I am now a charter member! :D
well.. i paid but my thing hasn't changed yet :p

I won PotM one month last year. I got a gift certificate and should be getting a tshirt. Not bad considering I didn't think there was any prize involved. I was just doing it for the sweet taste of victory. I think I might have had the only entry though. :) Still, first place baby!

Flagged for off topic and it hurt my feelings...

[FireWater]

Things still happen at meetings. Some of the contests, frag exchange, TOTQ and POTM have slowed. They've slowed from lack of involvement - you get out what you put in and some folks don't put in anything. Well, unless you count selling. I know the folks that have volunteered to head those things up have busted their *** to make it happen with little to no involvement from anyone else.


I know there has been talk about moving meetings around for other days. If they move to a Saturday then folks that work on those days don't get to go. Best option is splitting them up. Also, Sunday rental on most places like the Schertz Community Center are way cheaper on Sundays. It helps the money go further.

There are lots of things that you can do to help MAAST out. Items such as a weekly discussion on a topic, help for others that need it, ideas for new techniques on husbandry for the tanks we keep, assisting with a committee, are just a few.

Even better for you since I am sure you can give yourself a day off or a couple hours of lunch break once a month to attend something or help organize/run an event(coral growth contest, POTM, TOTM, ETC.). Especially since your a successful business owner.

[Mr Cob]

I would suggest maybe alternating the days. Make some events on Saturdays and some on Sundays so everyone has an opportunity at some point.

I for one will never be able to come on Saturdays. Sundays work perfect for me and my family, when I'm available. I'm sure we could never pick one day that will always work for everyone which is why mixing it up might be a good idea. But i haven't been to any events in awhile so maybe Saturdays are also being used for events.

I'm hoping to be at the frag swap on Sunday the 6th. Still trying to confirm.
