At the August 20 Board meeting the HARRA Board approved changing the effective date for membership expirations from December 31 to June 30. This takes effect immediately.

Current HARRA members or anyone joining or renewing between now and Spring 2002 will be considered current through June 30, 2002. There will be no pro rating of membership fees at any time going forward.

New membership applications reflecting this change will be available in the coming weeks at the Memorial Park Tennis Center, various running stores, and at the Marathon Sign Up Party on September 10.

One reason for the change was that the timing falls more in line with HARRA's fall/spring race series calendar. The Membership Drive will now begin at the annual HARRA Awards Banquet each June.

If you are not sure whether or not you are a current member, go to the HARRA website http://www.harra.org/numbers.htm. If you are current, your name and number will be listed.

Please direct any questions about your membership or this change to Annie Hadow at harraenrollment@hotmail.com.
