Hoping to Go to Denver? Remember that NCC Members Get Ticket Priority

Below is the substance of an email I received this morning from the National Commodore Club:

Want the opportunity to buy NCAA tickets?

Renew or join today.

One of the premier benefits of NCC membership is the opportunity to purchase tickets to the NCAA basketball tournaments. Join or renew now through the Commodores On Board program and you may be watching the games in person in 2012. In honor of March Madness, every new member who joins between March 16 and April 1 will be entered into a drawing for a basketball autographed by the Vanderbilt coach of their choice.

Commodores On Board is going strong with more than 465 new National Commodore Club members. Help us meet our goal of 1,000 new members before the program ends on May 31. If you know any young fans, sign them up for the Jr. NCC. You'll receive Commodores On Board credit for junior memberships.

Remember—if you're not already an NCC member, you'll need to come on board to participate.

Sign up new members in one of three easy ways:

1. Online—make sure that the new member references your name in the special comments box (VSL or Vanderbilt Sports Line).

2. By phone—remind them to mention your name when calling the NCC office at (615) 322-4114.

3. By mail—ask the new member to write your name in the referral box at the bottom of the membership form.

Find out more about Commodores On Board at the updated NCC website or by calling the NCC office at (615) 322-4114.

Vanderbilt Sports Line is making good progress towards our 40 new member, $5,000 fund-raising goal, although things have slowed a little as of late. Please consider joining the NCC today (and put "VSL" or "Vanderbilt Sports Line" in the special comments section when you do).
