Hello Maxine –
I just noticed your request on our website for information about membership.
The short answer is “yes.” You can join our club without having written
anything since your school days. There are different categories of membership
and you can fit into one of them.
Just click on “the club” on the top and then on “membership.” The different membership categories will all be described. You can pick the one that is most appropriate for you and scroll to the bottom. An application form is there. Just double click on it and it will fill the screen. Then, just print it, fill it out, and send it
(with money, of course) to our mailbox.
Hope to see you at our October meeting.
Cliff
(Chair, Membership Committee)
