Randy,
Welcome back to rocketry and to CMASS, as well. 14 years is a bit of time but all the glue and epoxy joints should be set by now.
For Level 1 certification, along with your NAR membership you only need one existing L1 to be present and another NAR member. Even an L2 can certify you solely. However, at any CMASS launch, you can't swing test a rocket for proper placement of CG/CP without hitting an L1 or better. There won't be a problem with witnessing personnel.
If you haven't selected a motor yet, check Animal Motor Works under the vendor section of the Links button under the Main Menu at the left of this page. AMW/CTI will likely have a cert deal available for hardware and reload and they are represented at all the CMASS launches.
This month on the 2nd and 16th, there are club meetings in Marlborough. If you can make it to one or both of these, you can tap into a wealth of information.
Hope to meet you at our upcoming launches.

By all means, bring it along. We're usually not shy about sharing our opinions.
Most folks bring something to work on at the meetings.

Oh and one more question. Is it appropriate to bring my Mini BBX to a meeting to have some experienced fliers inspect it for any potential construction issues? I've put 14 years into it so I don't want it exploding on the pad - lol.
