The advantage of becoming a member of the SRA is the right to vote in all matters pertaining to the SRA including location and time frame of future reunions as well as receiving the periodic newsletter, the Sam Rayburn Sentinel.  Registration fees for the member and his wife are waived for the next reunion.  Members also get a 10% discount on items purchased from the ships store. Of course, the obvious advantage is getting in touch and being able to talk to guys that you haven’t seen or spoken to for years and meeting new friends at the reunions.
