Hi...I am a new member of the NAWCC with a main interest in Pocket Watches. I saw this chapter listed but am having no luck registering. Saw they still have recent public forum posts, but it does say NAWCC members cn register to participate more fully. Can anyone shed some light on this? Sorry if it has been covered, but I did a search back and didn't see anything and tried to pm moderators without success due to the inability to register. Thanks for any information you can provide. John
You can get all the info you need for C/149 contact Jon Hanson, Chapter president at jonontime@aol.com
Bryan, I have been collecting watches and been a member of the NAWCC for 12 years. I tried to join Chapter 149 10 years ago but no matter who I contacted, never got to the right person, someone had to sponsor me I think so I gave up. I purchased parts from you years ago when I was starting out and lived in New York State. I am not as strict a collector as many of your members seem to be.
Hi Richie, I do remember you now, hope you are doing well. If you'd like to join 149 please let me know, I'd be more than happy to sponsor you - please email me at bdeyring@hotmail.com to discuss further - thanks!
Really, Richiec. Do you know personally know Jon H? Have you ever met or spoken to him? Why not give him a call and have a conversation? John L
A note to everyone: Chapter 149 is alive and well. CDs, especially the Illinois serial number look up data, have had a resurgence of interest recently. Unfortunately, our supply of award winning posters are nearly exhausted. Fred, Rhett and Lance Thomas might have a few for sale. Hopefully, a new one will be created soon. Remember, for the chapter 149 MB public area one can register as a guest at no charge. John La Cambria Chapter MB administrator
In follow up to John's comments, I do still have a few of the Chapter 149 Hamilton Posters available. Rhett
Decided to get involved in my local chapter and the MB we are on as my first participation. If they actually met in my area and had programs I would have pursued more. I did contact them but I felt the local chapter was the best move.
Ch. 149 is classed as a "special interest" chapter, and you can certainly participate while also being involved in your local chapter.
