You need to be an active Chapter Member on FTE to post a wanted, for sale or for trade item(s). No Exceptions.

Ask not what your chapter can do for you, ask what you can do for your chapter.

Thanks, you are all amusing. I especially like this quoted response but think it should be the other way around.

A la American Express, membership has its privileges. I noticed the so/no cal pismo meet up thread. Are there regular chapter get togethers?
