what is the best way to build up arm strength for paddling without signing up for a gym membership? i am wondering what people here do at home to get into shape for races.

Basic Strength--core, torso, arms:
--sit-ups, crunches, V-sits, etc.
--back extensions
--seated rows
--pull-ups (hands both ways)
--push-ups (with a "plus" shoulder extension at the limit)
--curls
--dips
--all rotator cuff exercises
All of these can be done at home with a bit of imagination, some stretchy fitness bands. And all of them can be done on a cheap, used, Total Gym.

the key to our teams sucess is that we cut firewood 3 days a week with a cross cut saw and do 25 jumping jacks before we put our boat in the water on race day.
