RIHA Has New Secretary(ies)!

RIHA has two new secretaries: Anne Doerr and Beth Deinert. Anne will be handling all secretarial matters and Beth will be handling points and membership. Thanks so much to Chris Travers who did a great job for us these last several years! Visit the Board of Directors page to see their contact information. Please be patient as they are working with Chris to learn how to process memberships and points. Membership cards and points updates will be a little slow for the next several weeks.

2012 Membership

The RIHA has kept its membership fees the same for many, many years but due to the current economic climate, we have no choice but to raise the membership fees slightly for 2012. If you applied for 2012 membership early, you will be contacted shortly to make arrangements to complete your membership application and payment. The Board of Directors will continue to work for you to ensure fun and safe competitions for all of our members and to keep costs down as much as possible going forward.

Pre-Enter Online!

There is a website that allows you to pre-enter for most RIHA shows. Go to the Calendar page for more information.

RIHA has gone green!

In an effort to do our part for the environment, RIHA is no longer mailing out rulebooks and has reduced the number of other mailings sent out. Please download and print the rulebook from the Rules page, check this website frequently, sign up for email alerts, and join the RIHA Facebook group for up-to-date information on the annual banquet, point standings, calendar changes, the annual meeting, RI Finals information, etc. Every little bit makes a difference!
