Q: How to I renew my membership?

Q: I'm trying to login and the system is asking me for an "access code". Where do I get one?
A: Everyone has an access code - Initially the computer assigned a random code to you. To get your code click the link under the box to enter your last name. A new page will appear where you can enter all or part of your last name. Click "Search" and find yourself in the list and click "Request Code". The system will e-mail your code to you. NOTE: If you don't have a valid e-mail address in the database, you'll need to contact the Membership Secretary.

Q: How do I change my "access code"?

A: Congratulations OM! Contact the Membership Secretary to change your membership level.

Q: How do I see my Membership Rewards Points?
A: Your Rewards Points are visible on your Membership Data Access page. At the bottom of the page is a list of your awards and redemptions with your available balance.

Q: How do I redeem Membership Points?
