VICIOUS, SASS#8014 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Howdy; I have a 25 year pin from the Butler Rangers shoot commigrating the 25th year of consecutive CAS shooting at the first club to do CAS in CANADA .( Guelph Ontario still hosted by Indian Frank) That 25 year pin would look nice beside it.

Chili Ron Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Howdy, Looks like a good way to advertise the society. Is the 20 year pard going to get a 5 and a 10 and a 15 as well? If that is a bit too pricy, perhaps an option to buy the others near cost???? I might even put one on my Bears cap. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best CR Hi Chili Ron, No- each member will get only the one landmark pin that they are currently on. We hadn't considered additional pins as an option... our goal was to get only the one pin to each member who had reached the landmark for membership. I'm certainly not opposed to offering the pins for folks to buy additional of as well (if their membership qualifies!)... I'll look into this as a possibility in the coming months. Thanks for the suggestion! Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Moonshine Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hey everyone- I didn't forget about the announcement/distribution info- all of the information on the pin distribution and its announcement will be included in the January 1 SASS Member Bulletin, as was always planned. Keep an eye on your email on January 1! Thanks! Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin O Lawman,SASS#7672 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I have a question. If a yearly member has belonged for 22 years . The next time they pay their membership fee do they get a 20 Year pin or do they have to wait until 25 years? Just wondering!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keystone, SASS # 47578 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Well, I'm just as happy as can be that SASS is still around and we're still shooting CAS whether or not I have a special pin. Been 16 years of shooting & fun with hopes of at least making it to 20 years & maybe even 25 years. Kind of doubtful I'll be here for 30. Thanks to SASS for keeping us on track and moving onward. Hasta Luego, Keystone PS The pins are a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion! Misty What about offering to life members to purchase when they hit their anniversary for the cost of the pin? Ordered some lapel pins for our group a few years ago and didn't think were more than $20, but unsure of sizes of these pins. I'm sure many life members would be willing to pay cost plus expenses (not retail) for the pins. Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hello Folks, I sent the following email to my list. "Hi Folks, Misty Moonshine (SASS CEO) just posted on the SASS Wire that Annual Members will be receiving, in 2019, “Landmark” SASS pins for 5-10-15-20-25-30 years of membership. Nothing was stated about Life Members. Here is a link to the thread. https://www.sassnet.com/forums/index.php?/topic/282277-20-year-membership-pin/& Regards, Allie" I've heard from some unhappy Life Members who read this thread. I doubt they would be willing to buy a pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I’m suprised (and I shouldn’t be) by the amount of pot stirring over a gesture. We are not talking a major rule change or a massive dues increase. It’s a pin to celebrate yearly members and a gesture by SASS to show appreciation. Thats it. No conspiracy, no intended exclusion. And patience in receiving the pins will have to be used. Have talked to several life members who think it’s great and don’t need a pin themselves.

Doc Coles SASS 1188 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I kind of thought the number on your badge was a pretty good indicator of how long folks have been in shooting SASS.

Jackrabbit Joe #414 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Sounds ok in my book I joined SASS February 22, 1988 looking forward to a 30 year pin & one is just fine & enough.
