Membership is open to interested applicants after they have attended at
least 2 general meetings. Annual dues are due in November for the following
year. 2010 Membership fees are $25 for adults, $15 for each additional
adult in the household, $5 (each) for youth (ages 10-18) or children
(ages 4-9). New members pay an additional $6 initiation fee per person.
Late joining new members may have lower dues as they are prorated after
mid-year.
Club chairmanships or offices are open to all active adult members. The
success of the overall program is dependant upon participation by all
members. Members are encouraged to participate in as many of the
activities and events as they are able and to assist with club
leadership responsibilities.
Our youth ("Little Chippers") are offered participation in the Future Rockhounds of America program which meets separately from the general meetings. This program is designed to meet the abilities of children of differing ages and interests. The FRA is a program sponsored by the American Federation of Mineral Societies.
