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?Β Will I be kicked out of the rally,,,,lol.

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

A 3" (or so) patch should be included in the welcome packet.Β I don't recall a pin, but it's been a while since I joined.Β 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.Β 🤣Β
Congrats on being a full fledged member.Β 🍻Β
Will look forward tomeeting you in the Flint Hills.Β

Hold my keyboard and watch this! π

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 ! Β

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... 🤩Β

Um, about that, Jon.Β I noticed a distinct LACK of holes, though VAST numbers of actual donuts while at Iuka.Β
Β
<ETA>Β 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 package?
Thane, it is incorrigible to think that you, of all people, would talk about your package here, in a family forum. Β
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.

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 WillieΒ
