b) Visit the "Upcoming Events" tab to make plans. Event types include Day Battles, Campouts, and attendance at conventions.
c) Become a Citizen! A Citizen is an individual that has paid their annual membership dues, and thus is covered by our insurance, can hold rank, be a voting member of the organization, and even be elected as an Administrative member.
