How does the winner activate their membership?

The gift membership is purchased as a blank certificate. After drawing the name, we will fill out the certificate with the winner’s information before presenting them with it. The recipient’s membership does not become active until the day they redeem their certificate. Their Membership will be valid for one full year from the date of redemption. This allows the gift recipient to decide when they would like to begin their year-long Membership.

Do existing USCNC members qualify for the drawing or is this only available to new members?

All registered members (both existing and new) of the USCNC will qualify to enter the sweepstakes provided they meet the criteria.

Does the contestant have to attend the live drawing to accept the certificate?

While attendance to the giveaway event will be highly encouraged it will not be a requirement. Though it should be noted that attendance to a previous event is a firm requirement.

Summer is just around the corner (even though these frigid days are making it feel like it will never come). Are you interested in summer camps for your little ones but don’t know what’s available? Have you sent your little ones to a summer camp before and would like to share your experience? What about extra-curricular activities?

Play groups has developed a shared google sheet to help share information about summer camps and extra-curricular activities. If your little one(s) has attended a summer camp and/or you’ve enrolled them in an extra-curricular activity (beyond school affiliated activities), please fill out the google sheet with the program name, location, ages, website/contact info, price, duration, registration date (if known), any other comments, and your name. Please let Sara Lucas know if you have any questions.
