I'm a member.  I was actually impressed when I got my first package
in from VW Club.  It contained a T-Shirt (with a small VW Club logo
on the front), a United States road atlas, a 30-minute VW phone card,
sticker,
a booklet with lots of cool discounts on hotels/foods/etc (like the
entertainment
books, but not as thick), and an application for a VISA (which you send
them a picture of your very own VW vehicle, and they place that on your
card)... which is pretty damn cool if you ask me.  They also send you a
quarterly newsletter about various VW stuff.

I'm not sure about "VW Club Dealers"...  but I think its worth the small

amount of money for the membership.
