MPGA's L.L.Bean ProPlan

LL Bean

Direct Purchase Discounts for MPGA Members!

Effective October 8, 2008

Nothing says "Maine" better than Maine Guides, and L.L.Bean. The Maine Professional Guides Association and L.L.Bean have worked closely together for many years, and we are now very pleased to offer this terrific new discount program for MPGA members.

Guide members may buy directly from L.L.Bean
at their Freeport Retail Store, by Telephone, and by Mail Order.

This greatly expanded discount program is a result of our growing relationship with L.L.Bean and their recognition for MPGA�s successes and importance in Maine's outdoor landscape.

Eligibility Criteria

Discounted purchases are intended for use by active guide members of the Maine Professional Guides Association. Guides may purchase certain items for field use by their clients, even if obviously not the guide's size etc, such as rainwear, waders, and life vests.

WARNING - MPGA urges you to abide by this and not abuse L.L.Bean's generosity in offering us these discounts. Failure to respect the program's intent, requirements or L.L.Bean's staff may result in termination of membership.

MPGA membership card and a state photo ID are required to receive the discount.

Purchases without required identification
will not be discounted. No exceptions.

REMEMBER - You must always present your Current MPGA Membership Card, so be sure you renew on time.
