  • Memberships are late after February…postmarked no later than Feb 28th. NO EXCEPTIONS. Remember, one applicant per form.

  • All members should send in a volunteer form. You can volunteer all 8 hours on one day, or give us two dates that you can volunteer in blocks of four hours. NOTE: SEND THE VOLUNTEER FORM DIRECTLY TO THE DIVISION CHAIRPERSON. DO NOT SEND IT BACK WITH YOUR MEMBERSHIP!

  • Don’t forget! Send the volunteer form(s) to the show chairmen of your choice. They will get back to you to confirm if your volunteer dates are acceptable. Don’t wait until the end of the year!

  • DVHA Life members should also send in a membership form. There is no membership fee (just write “life” in the fee area) but Life members would register new mounts and recap existing mounts for the show season.
