Membership Stuff When you join NCA or renew your membership, please fill out a fresh membership form; that s the only way Chuck has on keeping the database accurate and up to date. Everything on the form will be added to the database, but won t appear anywhere else unless you mark the boxes to tell Chuck that you want it to. Please indicate which bird types are pets and which are ones you breed. Please don t abbreviate or assume that Chuck knows what you mean when you write (for example) lineolated. Lineolated what? And whatever they are, are they truly lineolated or perhaps only lineated (there is a difference)? The membership form has been updated with a note to this effect, and also indicates the new policy of memberships running for one year from the date on the application, rather than January through December as was the previous policy. Please also note that the new NCA mailing address does not apply to membership forms; please continue to mail renewals and new memberships to the address on the form. 4
