IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO RE-JOIN THE CYRS!

After a breakout year, with success after success, 2010 arrives as a promising time for the CYRs. We ask all 2009 members to rejoin the group, and pay 2010 membership dues ($35), allowing you the same great membership benefits (and more!) that you enjoyed last year.
