We just concluded our 2007 San Diego Reunion. It was held October 25 - 28 at the Handlery Hotel and Resort. It was by far one of our best reunions.

The Association now has Challenge Coins and Keychains

 


You will receive one free coin or keychain the next time you pay dues of any type (lifetime, new member, or renewal).  Note: Just one free, not one each time you pay future dues.  Click here if you wish to pay dues at this time:

 

All Canopus Lifers and everyone that has paid any dues since the first of the year will be sent a free coin or keychain.  I will eventually contact you to see what style you prefer or you can email, call or write me to let me know.   

If you want an additional coin or keychain, they will be $12 each in the Ship's Store.

 


 

The Ship's Store now has a high quality knit shirt with ship's silouette:  New
