JOKING HERE!! I don't want to belong to any club that would accept me as a member!

But I joined USCA anyway,,,,lol. Actually that title is a quote from Groucho Marx. Just thought it was funny,,,lol.
I got my packet yesterday. I thought I had read you get some kind of pen in the packet. Is this an ink pen, a lapel pen? Are you supposed to wear a lapel pen at functions to show you're a member? No big deal at all. But I didn't get any kind of pen. Maybe they quit including them? Will I be kicked out of the rally,,,,lol.

Ha! Who doesn't like a joke at introduction. You'll fit right in at the rallies, pen,pin,or whatever you feel like showing up wearing. 🤣

There is a secret.....handshake.....but it can only be shown to you once you have brought 100 Donut Holes to your first sidecar rally.

A 3" (or so) patch should be included in the welcome packet. I don't recall a pin, but it's been a while since I joined. Scariest part is that they let ME be secretary!

Double check your member packet to ensure the membership info isn't in your "monkey's" name. 🤣
Congrats on being a full fledged member. 🍻
Will look forward tomeeting you in the Flint Hills.
Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃

Wow did you luck out by posting...3" or so....because the actual USCA patch is 5 inches....which is 66.67 % bigger than 3".
And you call yourself the Secretary.......................ha !

The US Post Office started confiscating the pins, calling them a weapon of minimal destruction. Actually, they no longer allow the mailing of things of a prickly nature.
Sorry, but we do have all the donut holes you can eat at the national rallies, courtesy of Flying Monkeys... 🤩

Um, about that, Jon. I noticed a distinct LACK of holes, though VAST numbers of actual donuts while at Iuka.
<ETA> Oh, I reread that and, yes, it should not be surprising that there were no holes at Iuka, since there was a concomitant absence of FM.

So you're saying I got shorted in my welcome packet?

So you're saying I got shorted in my package?
Thane, it is incorrigible to think that you, of all people, would talk about your package here, in a family forum.
I was talking about the USCA patch, and here is a picture of the one I received, in full color too, and it is 5 inches tall, and 5 inches across.

Mine is also inverted with the wide part of the "triangle" on top. Clearly I must be a red headed stepchild...

Huh. I didn't get a pin or a patch. Times are getting tough,,,,lol.

Not to worry, Calvin. I will bring my brand new, never stitched to a jacket, USCA patch, and give it to your Boss Monkey, the famous Sidecar Willie

With my best Mexican accent. "Patches? I don't need no stinking patches". At least I think that's how that movie quote goes,,,lol.
Willie says "HE'LL" shake you hand but you gotta show HIM the secret handshake.

So Mr Miles does this mean you are taking a little side trip to flint hills?
