Membership Renewal

Dues

First, your national CAF membership must be renewed annually.
Then pay the squadron annual dues of $50 by January 1 of each year.
Finally, send in your annual hold harmless form below.

Members not renewed by January 1 will be limited to public-only events but remain on the mailing list.

Members not renewed by April 1 will be removed from the mailing list and considered new members upon applying to rejoin.

Hold harmless

When you pay your dues, complete your annual hold harmless form.

Option 1

Fill in the online form and e-mail

Shortly after submission of the form, you will receive an e-mail with it attached as a PDF. The squadron receives a copy.

Online form (General Volunteer)

Done!

Option 2

E-mail or print & mail the PDF form

Fill in all blanks – name, initials, signature, CAF ID number, date, squadron (“Rainier Squadron”), and emergency contact name and phone.

HH #1 (Oct. 2020)

You can sign with your finger or mouse on a phone, tablet, or computer. Or, you can print and sign paper and either e-mail or postal mail it to the Adjutant. Expand a section below for details.

E-mail a PDF signed with your finger

On an Apple iPhone/iPad, open the PDF form and follow Apple’s instructions to type and sign with your finger.

On an Android phone/tablet, you’ll need an app to type and sign with your finger. We suggest the free Adobe Fill & Sign app or the free Adobe Acrobat Reader app.

On a Windows PC or Apple Mac, follow Adobe’s instructions to add your hand text, signature, and initials.

If you need to add your first signature, draw works best if you can use your finger rather than a mouse. You can also sign a scrap of paper, photograph it, and upload that. This is a one-time step.

PC and Mac require Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don’t have it and aren’t comfortable installing it, use another method. Install Acrobat Reader here.

Be sure to install Acrobat Reader, not Acrobat Pro Trial, and uncheck the optional junk – McAfee, Chrome extension, etc. Step-by-step instructions are available for Windows and Mac.

E-mail a photographed/scanned paper form

Print the form and fill it in. Scan the paper (both sides) or take a readable photo (both sides) and e-mail everything to the adjutant.

Tip

If you take a photo, your smartphone may have a document scan mode which automatically fixes brightness/contrast, crops the edges, and accounts for the angle the photo was taken. If not, don’t worry, get as good a regular photo as you can.

- Photograph documents on Apple iPhone or iPad.
- On Android, you’ll need an app. Instructions for a few options: (1) if you have a Google Pixel handset; (2) if you use the Google Drive app.

Mail a paper form

Print the form and fill it in. Mail it to the adjutant. (Contact the adjutant for current mailing address.)
