John, I see that you are a pwna member, What's your take on your 300.00 membership?
Ron;s right my membership is about $195 year. In that I get the Cleaner Times so that alone is worth about $36/yr. Also since this is a tax write off you can take another 20%+ off right there. So in essense my membership cost me about $100 free and clear. So I go out and make that in an hour Powerwashing. For my Membership which I consider pretty cheap I've gotten some nice jobs thru my connection with my org. and more importantly I met some great guys and gals with similiar goals and beliefs.
With that being said I'm very happy with my PWNA membership.
As for Ron starting an org. whether its free or not I've been waiting about 6 yrs to see if this would ever happen here..Can it....Possibly..I'm still waiting
