What You Get:
1. Club membership for you and everyone in your household for 1 year.
The "1 year" begins with the month that your application is accepted.
2. The currently available Club Car.
Right now it's our 2001 Club Car which is a customized blisterpacked purple and black Tail Dragger.
3. A 'numbered' Club Pin.
Design is a purple '55 Nomad (our first Club Car) with red highlights, black windows & front grille, teal flame on the side coming 'out' from the front wheel, and 'gold' 5-spoke wheels. The car is on top of the Wheels Of Fire flame logo with a 'gold' "96" (the year our Club was founded) where the HW 'sawblade' logo would normally be. On the pin back is "Limited Edition -- 1 of 300". (Supply is almost depleted, pins that are not numbered will be issued when the numbered pins are gone.) To see what the pin looks like, click on the "Club Items For Sale" link.
4. Name badge for everyone listed on the Application.
Badge is laminated and 'hangs' on a clip. The design features the same picture as the new Wheels Of Fire tee shirt in full color with the member's name in black.
5. The Club's monthly newsletter mailed to you.
It is mailed the week one week before the Club meeting. This way, the newsletter also acts as a reminder for the upcoming Club meeting.
6. Discussion & voting rights at any Club meeting.
Wheels Of Fire meets the fourth Saturday (at 6pm) of every month (except for November & December, then it's usually the third Saturday).
7. The right to attend any Board meeting and to discuss issues.
The Board meets at 3pm the day of the general meeting. The Board does not make decisions for the club, it presents most items to Club members (at the next Club meeting) for additional discussion & a vote. It's the members who run the Club (majority rule); the elected Officers & Board members only work out the details.
8. The opportunity to run for any Office or Board position.
Nominations are at the May Club meeting with voting occurring at the June Club meeting. Elections are yearly with the results announced at the June meeting.
9. Free coloring contest for children 12 and younger at every Club meeting.
There are three age divisions and every child who participates gets to pick a loose HW vehicle from the Club's supply.
10. Door prizes for adults and children.
Tickets are given out when admittance fee is paid.
11. Free table to sell HWs at Club meetings.
Non-members can buy, but not sell.
12. The privilege to bring in HW stuff and carry it around to sell/trade at Club meetings.
13. Free admission to the Club's annual picnic.
The picnic is held in either April or May at a local park on a weekend day (11am - 5pm) different from either a Board or Club meeting day. There are also fun activities for all ages and, usually, some kind of HW car 'show'/competition.
14. Lower prices, when possible, on HW and Club items from some Club members at shows.
15. Other perks that vary from Club meeting to Club meeting.

Not bad, huh?

Of course, there's a small catch.
(You kind of knew there had to be one, didn't you?)

There's a    $ 2    admittance fee per person age 13 and over to get into any Club meeting.
Visitors/Guests get in one time for free.
But don't forget the Door Prize ticket (#10 above) you get when you pay. All prizes are HW items.

There may be other things that might have you digging in your pockets:
1. Raffle tickets at    $ 1    each that give you a chance to win, most of the time, a Limited HW item.
Some raffle monies go directly to Ronald McDonald House, one of the charities the Club donates to.
2. Monthly racing is    $ 2    per vehicle or    $ 5    for three vehicles.
First Place gets 50% of the race money collected, Second Place gets 25%, and Third Place gets to race one vehicle at the next Club meeting for free. The club keeps the remaining 25%.
3. Soda pop is available.
4. "Mystery Toy Box" tickets are    $ 2    each.
The 'Box' appears about every third Club meeting. Inside are brown-bagged blisterpacked Redlines, Treasure Hunts, Limiteds, Exclusives, First Editions, mainlines, McD's, and older/other HW vehicles along with a surprise. It's a 'Mystery' what you get until you open the bag!
5. What you buy from others.

And that covers it!
