The Associate member's sponsor must be registered and paid up before the application will be approved.  Any Associate applications that are received before March 21st will be deleted and not processed.   For the regular and ordinary members once your membership has been approved do not delay in getting into finalizing and paying for your membership.  With new procedures, the registration procedure could be lengthened due to the new location of registration.  You must be a paid member to register for any CFBEGA event and we don't want you to miss out on one due to members not following through and completing the membership process.
