When It Rains, It Pours, Literally

Not only are we dealing with COVID-19 closures, now we have to deal with Hurricane Isaias.

Current news shows that Isaias will go right through Fayetteville. But it appears to be a fast moving system and hitting our area between 11pm tonight and 12am. Then moving into Virginia by 4-5am Tuesday morning.

I anticipate that private lessons will still be on Tuesday night, but I will make that final determination by Tuesday at 1pm and I will send another message out.

Also, a 2 parter that I’ll send in a separate email as well. Don’t forget to renew your USA Fencing Membership. That’s required for all fencers/students at AAFA. Select either Non-competitive or Competitive (you can always upgrade from non-competitive at a later date), renew at https://member.usafencing.org/

Non-Competitive Membership

The Non-Competitive fee will remain at the 2019-20 price of $10 and includes a new added benefit: Members in this category can now experience the excitement of competition. Starting with the 2020-21 season, Non-Competitive members will have the opportunity to fence in one local tournament without having to upgrade to a Competitive membership. This new benefit is automatically available to you when you join or renew as a Non-Competitive member.

Competitive Membership

For our renewing members, we are offering the 2019-20 fee of $75 when you renew your membership before September 30. This is open to all current members and you do not need to have held a Competitive membership in 2019-20. For those seeking a new Competitive membership, the fee for the 2020-21 season is $85.
