Thanks Michael! Got my welcome letter via the postal service today with my member sticker! :D

Next time there is a convention over this way (west coast) I will look into it!

This year I decided to try the MVPA electronic publications and have been pleasantly surprised by the format and readability of the on-line magazines. Great job, MVPA, this is the way to go!

I always look forward to the Supply Line and Army Motors. The directory is good for getting in touch with people in my area with similar interests. Haven't tried the electronic reading of publications yet though.

Still think it's worthwhile.
Can't wait to attend another MVPA Convention near me. Attended the Dayton Ohio Convention in 2011.

So I have been an electronic member since the first of the year and I can say, I don't like it. There is no way to save a copy of the magazines and they are not stored online (at least I can't find it anywhere on the site.) So, to make it a bit more worth while, do any of you guys know if someone can change their membership during the year so I can start getting the magazines in the mail instead?

Thanks,
Nick Hopper

I personally prefer hard copy periodicals. There no substitute for it. As far as changing your membership type, I would simply try calling MVPAHQ and speak with one of the secretaries there. They are always helpful and I'm sure will find a way to switch you over to a regular membership.
