			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please remember that we have almost 15,000 members attempting to renew their memberships. When you renew your membership with a check or credit card information via the US Postal service we ask that you send a <span style="text-decoration: underline">COMPLETED AND SIGNED</span> OFFICIAL GCA RENEWAL FORM! That means that no other &#8220;form&#8221; is acceptable. If it doesn&#8217;t say MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL on it, then it&#8217;s not a renewal form. New Membership applications, old invoices or notes on scratch paper should not be substituted for a renewal form. The tri-fold mini membership applications are also not renewal forms, they are new membership applications for you to give to a friend that might like to join the GCA. If you pay online please pay through the portal on our website in the GCA Store so that we receive the proper documentation.</p>
<p>Renewals are not accepted by phone.</p>
<p>If you have been a GCA Member at any time since 2002 your membership has only been &#8220;inactive&#8221; and you should still send a RENEWAL&#8230;.one can only be a NEW MEMBER once. It is very important that we do not duplicate memberships!</p>
<p>Renewal forms are distributed with the Summer issue of the GCA Journal. You can also download and print one from this website or if all else fails, feel free to call our office at 816-471-2005 and we&#8217;ll be happy to mail or fax you a copy.</p>
<p>Please remember that we have to file all of these forms. Imagine what our files would look like if we had to keep every piece of  scrap paper or envelope or whatever else one might send in to renew their membership. If you only send a check with no form at all we then we have to fill out a form FOR YOU in order to put something in our file. We have a very small staff here and a lot of renewals to get through so please be courteous and fill out your own renewal form. Also, we need your signed authorization with each renewal to submit (or not submit) your personal information to the CMP.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
