(2) When you join club, you will receive a catalog in mail about every three weeks, along with a postcard that highlights a "featured" selection in genre you selected when you joined (e.g., rock, country, jazz, classical, Christian, rap, pop, Latin). You must return this postcard by due date or club will send you featured selection. You can now decline (or accept) your featured selection online, however, by logging into your CD club account. This makes process much, much easier. Once you have been a member for a while, you also can call clubs and ask them to change your membership from an "order-only" option, or from "negative option" to "positive option." This just means you won't have to return card.

(3) If you forget to return card and receive a CD you don't want, clubs are good about letting you return it. But beauty of this system for clubs is that this happens often enough and many people don’t bother sending it back. They just pay bill.

1.Do things you love – Too many of us don’t go out and do things because we don’t like doing them alone. But I make it a point to go kayaking regularly, renting a kayak from a local shop. Why? Because this will put you in contact with other people who share your interests. And, of course, you’ll be talking to these people, as instructed in Step 1. Also, no matter what your hobby, your local shop will probably have a bulletin board listing outings and activities of interest, giving you more ideas for meeting new people. Ask counter clerk whether he knows of anyone who meets for your specific hobby. I’ve found several informal social kayaking groups this way.
