Why I renew IS Why you should JOIN

I renewed my VFG membership for the (4th or 5th?) year again this morning. Why?

The knowledge, the camaraderie, the daily good laughs and the occasional good cries, the resources, the opportunities, the good reputation (which becomes my good reputation just by meeting the standards), the friends and my international extended family.

These reasons and many more I cannot begin to articulate make the $35 a year in membership dues and the contributions I try to make to the organization seem a bargain even in tough economic times.



Friends of the VFG, did you know there is another side to this forum? In the private Trade Member only forums we often share the secrets of our successes as well as the lessons learned from our shortcomings, give more expert advice than you can find anywhere else, and encourage one another to be our best.

If you meet the VFG requirements and are up to the challenge of our Code of Practice, I urge you to apply for membership: http://vintagefashionguild.org/apply-for-membership/

My renewal date is coming up this month too, Beth, and I couldn't agree more.

Also, trade members who are sellers are also allowed to post links to their listings here in the forums. You get a linked trade listing in the shops area of the main website. $3 a month is a bargain even if you only look at it from the focused advertising perspective.
 
As a former trade member, I can attest to the value of the membership!

The only reason I stopped renewing was because I changed careers and got out of the vintage business. And it was still a tough decision to let my membership lapse!

I can't tell you how much the VFG means to me and how much it has helped my business. Glad you posted this because I think I'm up for renewal soon too.

When I tell my customers about this place and they check it out, they cannot believe how generous, enthusiastic and professional the members are. While so much of the business world is becoming more callous and cut throat each day, the VFG shows us that sharing and helping benifits us all.

I have been a member since the begining 2002 and I love it and great friends that are here. I post a little here and there, but I am very thankful for all the knowledgeable people that assist me and for the people that learn fro my items.
