One free year WBCCI membership, be extended to include the new owner of any used Airstream purchased from any private party or non -Airstream dealer, providing legal proof of purchase is provided to WBCCI. This applies to only individuals who have never before been members of WBCCI.
I thought this might interest some of our new Airstream owners
FYI,
The WBCCI approved the new owners incentive program of a free year of membership to to the new AS owner, who has never belonged to WBCCI for another year at the 7/6/02 IBT meeting.
I want to make sure I've got this right. As long as we own an Airstream, and have never belonged to WBCCI, we are eligible to receive the first year of membership free?
I ask specifically because my father-in-law has owned his 73 Soveriegn for years, but has never belonged to WBCCI. We thought we would join together if this is the case.
Michael,
The purchase of the trailer had to be after a date that was set in 2002. If he owned the trailer previous to that, he is not eligible for the free first year membership. It's not a retro offer for those who have owned Airstreams for years but never joined WBCCI.
I just jumped over to the WBCCI web site and they still haven't posted anything about this. I dropped them an email and asked them to post the rules about free membership so we can refer those with questions to that page. You can email or call them to get additional information. The web site is www.wbcci.org

That's how I thought it worked. But, if you read John's post prior to mine, he states the "new membership incentive program" as of 7-6-02, which didn't mention anything about a purchase date. I was hoping maybe they did away with that requirement.
I was taking it right from a letter I received recapping the Int'l convention and that is how it was written. To clarify, the program offers new owners of AS free 1 yr membership if the new or used AS is purchased from an AS dealer and if the notification is reported to WBCCI by AS (it is a good idea to followup on this to be sure wbcci gets the info from the dealer). The same free membership shall be provided to the new owner of any used AS purchased from a private party or non-AS dealer provided proof of purchase dated on or after 1/18/02 is provided to WBCCI. Reference Blue Beret 3/02.
Any questions should be addressed to WBCCI.
Only after makes any sense. Otherwise, it would exclude everyone now buying used trailers. I'm sure that isn't the intention.
BTW: Airstream forgot to inform WBCCI about my purchase. I had to call the dealer to get things rolling. I also called Kathy at WBCCI and she was just great. As soon as Airstream confirmed my purchase, she had the membership package on the way to me as a member at large through 2003. The local unit then waived my dues through 2003 and "adopted" me.
I am the 51st member in the local unit. I'm going with a friend to the monthly luncheon next Tuesday. There are several rallys scheduled the balance of the year and I intend to be there.
I'm also going to the TrailManor TrailBlazer rally in September as a SOB (Some Other Brand). I'm still technically the Region Director, although I'm no longer qualified since trading my TrailManor. I was elected TrailBlazer National Vice President, but that too was automatically passed to the second candidate when I sold the TM.
