Discount Membership in Past ConChords You Attended

Did you ever try to pay Nick Smith for a ConChord membership, but your check just never got cashed?

Welcome to the club. There are a lot of us.
If you'd like to belatedly pay for that convention, we're offering a special membership for past ConChords: only $25 (that's the committee rate) to buy a membership in a convention you've already attended.

Make out the check to "Lee Gold," and Lee guarantees that this time the money will really truly leave your bank account and go to Nick Smith.

Some of our members have been kind enough to provide photos and other history of past ConChords.

Kay Shapero		The 2005 Kazoo awards (ConChord 19)
		Photos from ConChord 20 (2007)
Barney Evans		Some ConChord History, including both a timeline for ConChords 1 through 11, and photos for ConChords 13 and 16 through 22.
