Got word today that we can join as Associate members now for $100 annually. Their year runs from October 1 - September 30, so the first round of membership would be a pro-rated $35 until October 1, where $100 would be necessary for a year of membership. Hope that makes sense. Jeff is putting the paperwork in the mail to me today, so we'll soon be Associate members of the HNSA.
I'm also going to work on the t-shirts some more. I am thinking of going ahead and adding the USS Dolphin to the forums, even though she's not open to the public yet...and I'm not even certain it's 100% for certain she'll be a museum boat. This is the main reason I haven't pursued t-shirts, because I don't know if the Dolphin is being added nor if their Russian sub is going to be subsequently scrapped. Just have to wait and see a bit I guess.
