I have enjoyed my time as an MBCA member (since March '95).
But, like anything, you get out of it what you are willing to put into it.
For me, it's not the events or the magazine or the sticker on my windshield. It's the friendships and comraderie that has evolved with the time and effort...and participating as a member of the club. I have been overwhelmingly fortunate to meet men and women through MBCA who have become some of my closest friends.
Invest a little time and a few dollars and see for yourself. For some, it is worth it. For others, maybe not.
