Wally,

Must be a member of Chapter 34 or International Harvester Collectors?

Dale,
I think probably being a member of the national IHCC is technically enough, regardless of what local chapter you are in. But a national director would be the best person to ask that question to. The membership issue is purely related to insurance coverage from the national chapter for local chapter events where equipment operates.

p.s. The K181 you built me is still running great in my 70. I ran it all summer mowing and at plow day this fall.

Brian,

Good to hear the K181 is running great.

As for the must be a member of is miss leading in Wally's post and flyer about the plow day.
The only requirement is you must ne a member of the national IHCC.

Dale,
I'll get in touch with Wally and see if he can get that corrected. The problem is that Chapter 34 has no way of verifying if people not on our members list are national IHCC members, or if they're up to date with their dues with the national chapter. Being the membership secretary, the only information I get from the national chapter is a list of people who are current on their dues and have a home chapter of 34. Then I have my complete local list with all our members, many of whom pay their national dues through another chapter and I'll take them at their word that they are doing that. But I really have no way of knowing. And people that are not on either of those lists may still be a national member but I have no way of knowing, and the national chapter does not send out dated membership cards every year for people to provide as proof. This is an interesting question and I'm glad you brought it up because it would be good to get some clarification from the national level about how they expect local chapters to handle this when they have an event. Have you had to deal with this in Ohio? -Brian

Both IHCC chapters that I belong to gave me a membership card that I keep in my billfold. Hopefully all chapters give their members a card.

 

[wwhitfield]

I am a member of both IHCC and Chapter #34. Anyone with a paid up membership card from IHCC and a chapter may (can) oprerate equipment under IHCC rules. I have a email address and phone number posted Dale if you would like more information.

CH 34 sends out new cards every year. I don't recall ever getting one from CH 4 was I was a member there.

Wally,

Infomation is not needed.

Everyone needs the correct infomation. Your flyer is misleading. We had this same discussion last year. Last info I had from national you had to be a member IHCC. It was optional to be a member of a Chapter.

I have gone to several events outside of Chapter 6. I showed the chapter my membership card and was able to be part of the event. This works the same way when someone that is not a member of Chapter 6 and wants to be part of a Chapter 6's event.

 

[wwhitfield]

Like I said I have a email address and a phone number. Use them.
