Member Related
1. Where are the Quarterly Announcements?
Quarterly Announcements can be found on the Member Hiking Schedule page. Once you log in, hover on the Home tab to open the sub-menu. Click on Member Hiking Schedule to open the page. Announcements follow the calendar. There is a quick-link in the paragraph above the calendar.
2. How do I renew my membership?
Log in. Click on your name (in the upper right hand corner of the webpage) to access your Member Profile. You will see your renewal date listed in the Membership Details section. Click the gray button to begin the renewal process. Follow the prompts.
3. What is the "Avatar" field listed on my member profile?
An avatar is generally a picture or illustration that a person uses to represent them online. It can be used as a profile picture for forums, blogs or directories. CCTC's website does not currently support those features but you can still upload a picture to show on your personal profile by using the edit profile feature.
4. My Bundle Member page says that member is archived. What does that mean?
If your bundle member is an inactive hiker, the Club may "archive" that member to help keep our website contact list within our allowed limits. Our website costs are associated with total contacts, not total paid membership numbers. While dual members count as 1 membership, they are actually 2 contacts. Members who are archived by CCTC are always welcome to hike with the Club! If you think your bundle member was archived in error, please email the Membership Chair using the Contact button at the bottom of this page.
5. Why don't I have any Lifetime Mileage?
Lifetime Mileage is updated once per year and posted to your account in November. If you have been a member longer than 1 year and you do not have any accumalated "lifetime mileage" please reach out using any of the "Contact" buttons at the bottom of this page.
