Grumman Owners and Pilots Membership Drive and Challenge

Dear GOPA Members,
I don’t know any GOPA member who doesn’t like a challenge. So, from now and until our next conference September 15-18, 2025 in Groton/Mystic Connecticut, I challenge you to bring in at least one new member or a member from the past, back to the Grumman family.
When you do, you will be entered to win some GOPA BUCKS to use towards paying your GOPA annual membership, but first remember, you must be a current member in good standing at the time of the drawing.
1.    For every new or long time (2 years or more) past member you recruit, you will have the opportunity to receive $25.00 in GOPA BUCKS in a drawing held at the 2025 convention in Connecticut.
2.    GOPA BUCKS will be used as a credit to help pay your annual membership.
3.    One ticket for every new member you recruit will be issued in your name and entered. One winner out of all entrants will be drawn.
4.    The new member you recruited will receive their next year’s membership free.
5.    GOPA BUCKS is based on how many new members you personally recruit.
6.    Example: One new member $25.00 credit in GOPA BUCKS, two new members and your personal pot grows to $50.00 and so on.
7.    There is a new block in the member application form where the new member must record your name as the member that influenced/recruited them to join.
8.    Print the recruitment card to use as talking points to the perspective member to join. Enter your name on the card below and give the card to the new perspective member. Make sure you explain that the new member must enter your name in the online application for both to qualify for the drawing.
9.    You or the new member do not need to attend the convention to win.
10.    Remember, one current member will receive the value of their own pot in GOPA BUCKS if their ticket is selected at next year’s convention. The new member they recruited will receive their next year’s membership free.
11.    Most of all have some fun with the program.
