What's the advantage of joining?

[John_Nicholson]

We have discounts from participating merchants, we publish a newsletter, and we put on a large discus only show. I have probably missed some stuff but I am kind of busy at work right now.

I think John missed the biggest one but the one most people usually don't consider.

By joining NADA you will be supporting a National non porfit organization whose sole purpose is to support and promote the Discus Hobby. This support and promotion helps the hobby grow. Growing the hobby means vendors and manufacturers are more willing to invest in the hobby. All this usually equates to new innovations, better suppy and lower prices. This should also equate into better quality and quanity available.

It's too bad that no one really uses the forum. Look like that would be a fun place as well to visit...Bill

[John_Nicholson]

Thanks guys and Bill you are correct. The officers and board members try to check it every day but there are normally no post for us to respond to.

[William Palumbo]

Maybe we need to start posting. I think it might be intimidating for members, especially new members, because there such a lack of activity on there...Bill

[inmisawa]

I'll be honest, the lack of activity prompted the question. It looks like a majority of people spend their time on Simply Discus. Just my observation of course.

[John_Nicholson]

We really only need a forum for board meetings. I was against having a public forum from the start but was overruled. Now that we have it we are kind of stuck with it.

Lack of activity???? You need to make a show.

[William Palumbo]

Lack of activity on the forum John...Not the club...Bill

[John_Nicholson]

LOL....I know, but I am just in one of those moods.

[inmisawa]

I need to make a show?

[John_Nicholson]

If you do you will never regret it.

I need to make a show?

i didn't join SD until a month AFTER THE NADA show.. boo!

And one of the benefits that I am getting to experience, being a member of the Board of Directors, is NADAs role in International Discus competitions. We are viewed as an important part of the International Discus community. NADA represents all of North America in the discus world and for that reason, we sometimes get to provide input/support for International Shows around the world. I will be representing NADA, as a show judge, during the upcoming Malaysia Aquafair which scheduled 25-28 November. Stay tuned for some great updates/pictures of the event!

All the best,

Eddie
