|
Why should I join NAXJA? What are the
benefits? |
top |
| A. |
This is a relatively common
question from perspective members of NAXJA and while many people say
that the forums and the information provided is reason enough for
joining, we do our best to provide many other benefits of membership.
NAXJA is a club first and fore-most and an online discussion site
second. We strive to host 4-5 national events every year which all
members are welcome to attend. These events are at the largest and best
known OHV areas in the US and are typically multi-day events which
include a BBQ and raffle. With the effort to establish more local
chapters of NAXJA we are providing the members a way to meet with local
XJers and participate in their own events outside of the national
events.
When joining you are granted access to the
members only forum, the membership news forum, the technical articles
area, the forum archives area and you are granted several discounts
with vendors. Many of our supporting vendors offer temporary or
permanent discounts to our club Members. You will also recieve your
membership card and club sticker.
Joining NAXJA also joins you to the United Four
Wheel Drive Assosciation (UFWDA) as $10 of your member dues is used to
cover this cost. The club also actively supports TreadLightly, USALL
and several other groups promoting the safe and fair sharing of public
lands with the interests of OHV use.
