In the past you got a T-shirt, membership card, & sticker but Nan is who was in charge of that and since her passing, it stopped. Doug did say he would not be doing that so I wouldn't count on it happening.
If anything for a paid member I would like to see in the future, perhaps a GTG done for Paid Members only if possible that would have a fun day, dinner, etc... Just an idea, but of course there would have to be a good amount of paid members and then picking the location that suits all.
