ORV RESCUE- 2013 Membership Application Thread

[Matt]

This "club" was started with a few simple goals:

1- To be fun. It was a random idea that collected momentum, but has a good foundation.
2- To promote "being prepared". Some of the requirements go beyond off-road trips and camping... its about helping your fellow motorists even on your daily commute or in inclement weather.
3- To promote members to go off-road. You don't have to go rock crawling on blacks... just get off the blacktop once in a while to enjoy the outdoors (and do it responsibly)
4- To promote the modifications that we as enthusiasts love to do.
5- To have a cool sticker.... yeah


Here's how this will work:

- You have the rest of this year to fulfill the requirements to be a member for 2013
- As soon as you fulfill the requirements, you are granted membership status. So the earlier you complete them in 2012, the longer you'll be a member for.
- You must meet the requirements each year to qualify. So next year, 2013, you'll be working towards your 2014 membership.
- If you do not qualify in a subsequent year, you will be put on probation but will not lose your number.
- If you do not quality for a second year in a row, you will be removed from the list and lose your number.


What does membership grant you?

- It's for fun... what else do you need?
- You will be assigned your own vehicle #, there will never be two active members with the same number.
- You'll be eligible to sport an official ORV RESCUE decal on your hood (example below). Note that stickers are your responsibility... and we're still working that out as far as how "standards" will work.

Once you have your vehicle number designation, order a decal, install it and send me a picture and I'll add it to the official member list (probably another thread to show off our members).
