RaRa Membership Rewards Program

Any member who performs one of the services for the club listed in the table below will be rewarded with points. The points are accruable, then redeemable in the ways shown. Points do not expire, and can roll over from year to year, as long as your membership is valid (a lapse in your membership will delete your points balance). Accrue and save points towards any redemption objective.

Here are the ways you can use points:

1. Renew membership or put towards banquet tickets.

2. Join the ARRL at RARA’s discounted rate.

3. Obtain gift certificates for DX Engineering or Ham Radio Outlet.

4. Obtain training study guides for license tests.

5. Donate Points towards RARA projects.

The items in red are recent additions. We are particularly excited to offer the fourth item. From time to time the club will set targets to purchase something of benefit to the club. Members with points are then invited to donate some of their points towards this target. We think this is a great way to support the club and is in response to requests from members. The first campaign is now under way.

Purchase a Bandpass Filter for RARA’s Outdoor Events

One of our members has very kindly offered to donate sufficient points to purchase a 40 meter bandpass filter so that we can operate more than one radio on that band at external events. We are asking members to donate points so that we can also purchase a 20 meter band pass filter.

If you would like to donate 10 points (or whatever you wish) that will help us to get to our target of having both filters ready by the time we are able to hold outside events. Please contact our Membership Secretary if you wish to contribute and thanks in advance. Progress towards the target will be announced in the Rag.

Target Number of points to purchase a 20 meter bandpass filter = 280
