I can neither speak nor understand the Antique dialect (Kinaray-a) but have an Antiqueña mother. Can I apply for ACUSA membership?
Yes, as long as you still feel a strong bond to Antique and its people, believe in ACUSA's objectives and mission as an organization here in America and are willing to donate your time, talent and extra financial resources to the organization and its cause.
I live in northern California or another state in the U.S. but am interested in becoming a member of the ACUSA. Is it possible?
Yes, but only on a case to case basis. Let's talk it over the email. Northern California has its own organization of Antiqueños based in San Francisco called the United Antiqueños of Northern California with whom the ACUSA is loosely affiliated . Its current president is Efrenny Z. Soriaga. As for all the other Antiqueño organizations or individuals spread throughout the United States, it would be great to hear from you. ACUSA would be honored to include your home page links in its online community website. It would be nice to have all the Antiqueños in America united into one mother organization but it does not seem likely at the moment. Email us your thoughts on this!
Where and how do I apply for membership? Is an on-line application available?
You could apply in person during one of ACUSA's calendared events, introduce yourself to the other members, fill up a membership application form and pay the $15 per person ($20 per couple) annual membership fee. However, you can also apply through mail by printing this membership form in your printer and filling in your personal information. Enclose the membership fee in the form of a cheque or money order payable to Antique Circle U.S.A. and mail to:Dolly Estaris, 25466 Coral Wood St., El Toro, California 92630. Your receipt will be sent by mail. At this time, ACUSA does not have a wholly on-line membership application yet due to unavailability (cost-wise) of a secure web server.
