ewoc.org is back up after a 1 week crash.

...no thanks to gate.com the domain registrar. (In actuality they're middlemen. You pay them to get someone else to register your domain.) If you ever need to register a domain name, use godaddy.com. It's simple, efficient, and cheap. Gate is the company that bought out the good registrar that ewoc.org started with. Now they charge almost 3x what godaddy does. Gate won't charge you a "penalty" fee for changing to a different registrar when you're sick of them – you just have to reregister for one more year first! Anyway, the site's up and running and I'm jumping through the hoops necessary to keep it that way. Thanks for your patience.

Race Schedule Announced

On the events page you will find an entire year of orienteering laid out. The club officers have tried to fill the calendar with a good blend of "serious" orienteering events and unusual events that might appeal to a broader audience.

So far only the club officers are signed up to direct meets and design courses. Please consider contacting us to discuss helping. You can take on any or all aspects of a meet and we'll give you the support you need. Everyone benefits when more people take part in event set-up.

How do I know if it's time to renew my EWOC membership?

Secretary/Treasurer John Beck occasionally sends a paper, snail-mail version of the newsletter to every recent participant's home, regardless of their subscription or membership status.

The expiration date of your membership/subscription is shown to the right of your name on the address label. The first letter indicates the type of membership -

"M" for individual members,
"F" for family members and
"N" for non-member newsletter subscriptions.

The second letter indicates how you receive the newsletter -
"E" for e-mail only and
"N" for newsletter by U.S. mail.

The numbers indicate the month and year in which your membership or subscription will expire.

If you are not now a member, consider joining. Membership benefits include reduced fees at local events. A one-year subscription to this newsletter, with or without membership, may be obtained for $5 per year. E-mail newsletter subscriptions are free.

Forms and information about benefits of membership in EWOC and the United States Orienteering Federation are available on our "Join" page.
