Dear Member,                                                                                                   

August 24, 2011

It is renewal time again.  Please detach the membership renewal form below and return with your payment or complete online and pay using PayPal or Google.  Renewal options are 1 year $20.00, 3 years $60.00 or life membership $400.00.  Support your Association; order your Averages & History Yearbook at the same time for only $10.00 (one year) or $30.00 (3 years).  Please note the addition of postage, $4.00, for yearbooks ordered after 1/1/2012 – save postage and order early.  Your 2012 membership card will be mailed to you once all scores are recorded – mid to late November.

Thank you to those that supported our young shooters’ memberships in 2011.  We continue to offer this option as your way to SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF THE SPORT with one small change.  Your donation will be used for memberships as well as other youth related expenses.  Sponsor one or more new youth shooters.  We hope all clubs will participate in the Y-E-S training program and send their teams to the 2012 Grand Pacific competition.  Over $8,000 in scholarship money is awarded annually to teams at State/Provincial shoots and the Grand Pacific. 

Have you visited the P.I.T.A. website recently?

HELP US SAVE!

In an effort to reduce expenses and save some postage we are offering a new way to pay your PITA membership and order your 2011 Yearbook.  Print the renewal form and mail it with your check or save yourself some postage and pay online using Google or PayPal.  If you would like to pay with your credit card you can do this as well by calling the PITA office at 541-258-8766. 

The P.I.T.A. target year is from November 1 through October 31.  Renewal notices are normally printed and mailed in mid October.  Once all shoot reports/scores have been received, averages are calculated and membership cards are mailed.  This usually occurs in mid to late November depending of course on when reports are received from the clubs.  Cards are mailed at one time to take advantage of presort mailing rates offered by the Post Office.

So here is the idea to save some money.  Renewal notices will not be sent until November 10^th.  Before that date members will be encourage to renew using the form included in this email or at any shoot they attend.  If you can not print this form simply put a note with your check indicating what you are paying for, include a phone number should there be questions.

Membership cards will be mailed late November - early December so be sure to keep a copy of your online receipt or show your check register as proof of dues payment until your card arrives.

Together we can save postage and printing!
