Do you have a heart for volunteering? Then, consider becoming the membership chair for the club.

As of June 30, the PSMC will be in need of a new membership chair. This position requires about two hours per month of your time to generate new member documents, record payments for membership, and make membership cards. Additionally, the membership chair orders name tags for new members and anyone else who wants to buy one.

You can contribute to the health and welfare of all in the club by taking on this task. If you are interested, please contact Charlotte at editorcharlotte@gmail.com and we'll talk!

Your PSMC Board has purchased several pairs of the popular PSMC magnets that will stick to the side of your car. These are great to display your membership. Usually, those who have them like to display them on the car during organized drives.

If you would like to buy a pair (one for each side of the car) they will be available for sale at the upcoming Detailin' Day in May as well as at other events during the summer. The cost is $20 per pair. Our president, Ross Scott took a photo of his new magnets that he displays on his car.

Here is what they look like:

The next time you attend an event, you will most likely see the name tags the club has selected for members of record. 

Name tags are ordered monthly for anyone with a new membership and then if you wish to order any additional name tags for co-pilots or your other car, you may do so. You also can order name tags to replace the one you lost, but if that occurs, you will need to pay $10 for it!

Send your name tag information and a check for $10 to membership chair Charlotte Fellers at: 1800 4th St NE, Auburn WA 98002.
