Is NRA membership required to be a member of SCCS&FA?  NRA membership is no longer a requirement.  However, we are an NRA affiliate and encourage members to support the NRA.  You can join or renew your NRA membership through our affiliate page .  https://sccsfa.org/renewnra/.

Can I renew my NRA Membership through the club? Yes. You get a $10 discount on an annual renewal and the club receives $5. Check out the NRA Renewal renewal page here Feel free to share the link with non-member friends. 

My NRA Membership number/expiration date is wrong/missing. How do I correct it? Edit your profile (click on your name above to open the profile page then click the Edit Profile button), scroll down and you will see fields with the NRA information that you can update.

Are my online payment transactions processed in a secure manner? The major credit card issuers created PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance standards. These are stringent standards to protect personal information and ensure security for online payment transactions. As part of our PCI compliance (and our payment system), our payment processing systems are scanned regularly by Trustwave, a recognized 3rd party tester, according to PCI requirements.  

Does the club store my credit card information? No. Credit card information is securely transmitted to Authorize.NET where it is processed. Authorize.NET then returns the status of the payment transaction. Only the status of the transaction (i.e. that your payment went through) is recorded. When you pay online, SCCSFA has no ability to see your credit card details.  

What kind of security are you using to protect us? To ensure security and privacy of your data, we’ve provided traffic encryption (https) capability. Traffic encryption ensures that data entered into the online forms (e.g. membership application, event registration, etc.) as well as data transferred from servers back to visitors is protected from snooping. 

How do I get my membership card when I renew online? Membership renewals are accepted through September 15th.  New membership cards will be mailed to you sometime between September 15th and 30th.

Is my spouse covered by my membership? No. A few years ago the club replaced the family membership category with individual membership categories for Member and Spouse. Your spouse will receive their own renewal invoice if they had Spouse membership last year. If they were not a Spouse member last year they will need to apply for membership in the usual manor. Spouse membership dues are less than the General Membership dues. 

Can I mail a check? Mail-in renewal checks burden our volunteers.  Please do not mail checks. 

I joined the club a few months ago and thought my fee covered me for the partial year and next year. Do I have to renew and pay more? When you join as a new member there is a $110 initiation fee plus a prorated amount to cover your membership for the current year until the end of September. As an example: if you joined half way through the year your total would be about $150. So, yes you do need to renew and pay the following year's due's. Dues as of 2021 are: Member $150, Member over 62 $125, Spouse $50. 


What credit cards are supported for online payment?
Authorize.NET supports Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express 

I was asked not to use my work e-mail address. Why is that?
We suggest that our members use a personal e-mail address for club business. You can use the one provided by your internet service provider (isp) or one of the free services such as gmail, yahoo, etc. It is not a formal club rule but is suggested as good practice.
