I was told I could only qualify as a provisional member and it would be $300 the first year, and I could send in 3 invoices, then as I bought from more members, I could be a regular member the next year for less. I regularly use Sanmar, Bodek and Rhodes, Pure Country, Melco, Dakota and Otto Cap, plus numerous smaller companies like AllStitch and Embroidery Library. The person I talked to said only Sanmar, B&R, and Pure Country qualified. Has anyone else run into this? It's getting costly to keep joining associations. I know in the long run it will be worth it, but money just keeps flowing out... =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
