Get information about National H.O.G. membership in the
"My Membership" section of www.hog.com.
Do you want to join the Fort Washington
H.O.G. Chapter?
First, you must be a National Harley Owners
Group (H.O.G.) member. Call 1-800-CLUB-HOG (800-258-2464) or visit
www.hog.com to join National H.O.G. Then
come to a Chapter meeting or visit the Harley Davidson of Washington, DC,
Dealership, complete the application and pay your dues. When our Membership
Officer verifies your National membership status, you will be a Chapter
member. You should get a welcome package and your local membership card
within several weeks.
You can
Download our Membership Application and drop it in the H.O.G. mailbox at
the Dealership or turn it in at our next meeting, along with your dues!
If you leave your application at the Dealership, include a photocopy of your
National H.O.G. membership card or a copy of the website verification with
your application. This is to show current National H.O.G. membership status.
What are the types of Chapter
memberships?
Local H.O.G. Chapters have only annual
memberships. Local H.O.G. Chapters do not have life memberships or collect
dues for multi-year memberships because your application serves as an annual
waiver for Chapter rides and events.
What is the membership period?
- All Chapter memberships are for 1 year
and expire on December 31 of that year.
- New memberships received after October 1
do not expire until December 31 of the following year.
How much are dues?
- New member Chapter dues are $20.00.
- Renewal Chapter dues are $15.00.
- Please note that National H.O.G. dues are separate from
Chapter dues.
Why may it take so long to get my Chapter membership
card?
The Membership Officer checks the H.O.G. mailbox at least
once a week to process new applications and renewals. The applications are
checked for accuracy and to verify National H.O.G. membership. The
information is entered into (for new members) or checked against (for
renewing members) the Chapter database. Welcome letters and membership
cards are printed and mailed to new members. All local H.O.G. officers are
volunteers who devote lots of time, effort and love to their H.O.G. duties.
But just like most of us, they also have jobs, families, Harleys, vacations,
and business travel.
Do I get a discount at the Dealership for being a Local
H.O.G. members?
Active local Chapter members receive a 10 percent discount
coupon for participating in certain Chapter events, such as meetings or
rides/events. This coupon may be used at Harley-Davidson of Washington, DC,
or its sister Dealership, All American Harley-Davidson, Hughesville,
Maryland. The Dealership also usually has a "Customer
Appreciation Week" in December before the holidays to thank Chapter members.
How does the membership renewal process
work?
First, your National H.O.G. membership must
be current. If it is not, call 1-800-CLUB-HOG (800-258-2464) or visit
www.hog.com to renew.
Pre-printed renewal applications for the
upcoming year will be provided starting at the October and November
meetings. Those not picked up will be mailed after the November
meeting. The renewal application must be completed, signed and returned at a
meeting, or dropped off at or mailed to the Chapter at the Dealership. Proof
of active and current National H.O.G. membership is required. You can obtain
an e-mail verification of your National H.O.G. by visiting
www.hog.com . National H.O.G. life members
do not have to provide proof of membership status.
What is a continuous membership and how do I maintain a
continuous membership?
Membership must be renewed before December 31 each year to
maintain continuous membership. Members not renewing by December 31 will be
considered new members and lose that continuous status.
How do I get a 5-year or 10-year pin?
Members must maintain continuous local Chapter membership
for 5 years or 10 years to receive a Chapter pin for the respective
number of years. |
