Membership in our guild is limited to 250 active members. We are currently full, but we do maintain a waiting list. If you would like to join, please attend one of our meetings as a guest ($3.00 fee per meeting) and add your name to the waiting list. Your name will be kept on the waiting list as long as you attend meetings as a guest at least once every 4 months.  All active members must renew their membership by April of each year.  The active members are then counted and those on the waiting list will be offered membership until the ceiling of 250 members is reached.

The membership form will be available here only from January thru April of each year.

Dues are as follows:

Active members:    $35.00 per year
Inactive members:  $25.00 per year
