Outstanding ARES ID cards
I am happy to advise that all outstanding ARES ID Cards are now 'in the mail'. Please accept my thanks for your patience.
This has been a frustrating time that started with an absent supplier, then a sick supplier, then on to sourcing a new supplier at a reasonable cost, to eventually purchasing our own machine so I now do the cards in-house here at my home office. Future turn around time will be days instead of weeks.
The other advantage we now have is the ability to print custom cards.
As a benefit to affiliated Clubs and ARES Groups we can now offer printing in house of ID cards that are unique to your group, at the same cost ($4.00) as the ARES cards. Not only is this a benefit to you our members, but it will assist in the cost recovery time of our printer. Again, many thanks for your patience!
Later today I will be e-mailing some of you who did not send a picture with your card application. If you get this e-mail just send me a picture and I'll send your card out post haste.
