Re: membership fees

Stephanie,

I used to do the same with my mom since my parents and I rent a 
place together, but AERC has now tightened restrictions on family
membership and I can no longer do this.  I think they must be losing
money on the family memberships or they would not have had to tighten
the restrictions.  The current family membership is certainly a great
deal compared to the non-member fees!  My mom is very much more into
jumping than endurance and has done 2 LD's and 1 50 in the past 3
years.  I decided that an extra $65 was more extra support then I
wanted to give AERC this year since she is certainly not going to 
do several rides, so AERC is no longer getting any extra money from me.
