Membership in our local chapter has the added benefit of a personalized user account on our web site. This account acts as a key into our community's private section of online information. The account also enables members to receive community emails and news. This online benefit requires the member applicant to provide an email address.

Application Process

Each applicant requires sponsorship from a current member. If you do not know a current member that will sponsor you, send an email to the Membership Committee requesting a sponsorship interview. Once your application has been received we will contact you for an interview so that you may be sponsored by one of our committee members.
