With the Convention & Show fast approaching now is the time for these 3 --

1. Order your 2026 theme convention T-shirt with the colorful "America 250" poster on the reverse. Here:
https://the-cca-logo-store.printify.me OR
https://store.ccgtcc.com
Available in 3 colors and 5 sizes.

2. Check out the "Insider's Tips" posted on the CCA website here:
https://ccgtcc.com/documents/1405/Insider-s-Tips-for-attending-the-2026-Show-Convention
Whether you are a first-timer or an old-timer, plan your week at the Convention & Show with these tips.
And for new members (joined 1-1-2026 or later), sign up for Pre-registration too, attend the Show, and get $20 cash rebate back from the Membership Officer. See Tip #26. But hurry -- the offer is limited to the first 10 who act, and some of the rebates have already been spoken for.
And remember -- Preregistration ends on May 31 (postmark) for ALL attendees.

3. If you haven't done so already, it's time for all Volunteers to contact Scot Parriott and lock-in a volunteer shift or two. The CCA is an all-volunteer organization (NO paid staff at all) and events like the Convention and Show only happen with the volunteer help of members like YOU!
The vacant shifts for each area are conveniently listed at:

And if you want to work a shift at the Promotions Table with me, we still have a volunteer slot open on Saturday at 11:00am.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the Show. It's shaping up to be a really good one this year, IMO!
