For events where we have a limit on the number of people that we can take, we have an Event Hierarchy (pecking order) as follows:

1. Supporting members (current with their dues)
2. Spouses and minor children of supporting members
3. Members who are not current with their dues
4. Spouses and minor children of members who are not current with their dues
5. Guests (non-members)
6. Minor children of guests

To quote the old American Express TV commercial “Membership has its privileges.”  Therefore, being a supporting member ensures that you will not get bumped by a non-supporting member (for example).  If you are interested in becoming a current member, see the Membership Info, How to Join, How to Renew, and FCS Release of Liability Waiver/Membership Application web pages.
