And most important of all, lifelong friends and great experiences!  So if you've only been enjoying the magazines and newsletters your PCA membership provides, we’re probably missing you!"

I think it was President John F. Kennedy who said "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." That same inspirational question is also applicable to First Settlers Region. What can you do for your club? There are many benefits that come via a membership in PCA and the First Settlers Region, but we can enhance the value of a membership by giving back to the club Individuals and committees work hard to plan driving, social and charity events; and to recruit sponsors and items for raffles and door prizes to make these events fun, raise money for our charities and to financially breakeven.

All of this is to increase the value of your membership and to enhance your personal club experience, but it's a tough job at times.

So how can you help? Here is a list of ways:
• Recruit a new member
• Consider serving on the board or as an officer
• Volunteer for a event committee
• Sign up and attend some events
• Advertise your business with an event sponsorship
• Donate an item from your business for an event raffle
• Secure a sponsorship or raffle item from a friend, vendor or wherever you have relationships 

First Settlers Region is growing rapidly. While it's the marque that brings us to the club, it's the people we meet and the relationships we build that make membership a
great experience. And to come full circle, it's the club events that bring us together. Reach out to a board member or officer to see how you can give back.

Remember to renew your membership. You'll be glad you did!
