What is in it for your club and why?

The AHA hopes that this event will help clubs get a larger draw to their hunts, create a reason for people to come to the Carolinas and participate, grow the involvement of clubs and their members with the AHA, and create an interest in our sport.  The host club stands to gain financially because all proceeds stay with the club.  All that goes to the AHA is the club membership of $125.00
