I do agree with Bob on this, their rendezvous are focused and timed to help Loopers, and if you’re looping they should be considered.
An interesting twist would be to have a member and non-member rate.  ....but some already criticize it as being too expensive now!!

I have found that their forum was the most valuable to me and will miss it when we’re gone.
It’s possible that the new eBoatCards social networking site will fill in some of this need
I have never really used much more that the organization tries offer.....

SNIP:  “What is unique about AGLCA is their rendezvous.  Their forum needs to be
replaced with a more modern system. In my experience LinkedIn groups offer
the best looking and easiest to use forum.  Yahoo and Google Groups come
next.  Great-Loop lists appears to be an email only forum which has
advantages for boaters but it does make it more difficult to post replies.”
