MEMBERSHIP

2020 Memberships will be available at our Friday meeting.
Please arrive early.

Renewals are $20 per person and new memberships are $30 (includes $10 for name tag). You can either pay by check made payable to Senior Scholars or pay in cash. If paying in cash please have the exact amount. Having to make change slows down the process and we have limited cash on hand.

You can speed up the membership process by bringing a completed membership form:

If renewing please give us any updated address, phone number or email if you have made changes.

Your 2019 membership card is good through the end of 2019.

You can also renew or join by mail. The address is on the membership form. If you renew or join by mail you will need to stop by the Membership Desk

to pick up your new membership card. Your membership card is what gets you in the door at our weekly meetings. It shows that you are a current member.

We have quite a few name tags that have never been picked up. If we are holding yours please come get it. Your name tag lets us know who you are and as some of us have "senior moments" it is much easier to converse if we know your name. Please always wear your name tag. If the magnet is a problem for you we have a remedy.

Any questions can be directed to the membership chair, Sara Haymond, at shhaymond@aol.com.
