Hi Everyone,
I'm currently living off cape, but I spend a lot of time there fishing as my family is from the Harwich area. Driving the beach is something I've always wanted to do, so I would love more info about your organization. One thing that was not clear to me from the website is what exactly is included with a new MBBA membership.
I like the idea of meeting new people and helping out with things like beach cleanups, and I am sure the membership money goes to good use, but were there any other requirements / benefits to joining? Are there regular meetings for the general members, or was it just a few big ones in the spring and fall? I saw the code of ethics but did not see much else in the way of what is expected from new members or what the organization provides.
To be honest, what I'm mostly interested in knowing is if this was a community that is actually willing to help out new members. I know us surfcasters love our isolation, but ideally I would be looking to go out fishing with some others who are more experienced, as I have never driven the beach before, and am sure there is a lot to learn and very few places to learn it. I don't know anyone else who does this, so if nothing else, it would be safer for me to go out with others as well in case I get myself stuck. Last but not least, I'm really hoping there might be a sweet bumper sticker included I could throw on the jeep
Money is tight for me right now, and while I would love to support the cause and have a strong young back to help out with cleanups, I would also hate to drop 35 dollars and have it be a waste if I never heard from anyone or could have just shown up to volunteer instead.
Thanks for hearing me out, I'm looking forward to hearing from you all -- keep up the good efforts!
