Become a Member

Attend a meeting and fill out a membership application for a first reading. Then come to a second meeting and we’ll re-read your membership and vote to have you be a full member. Then pay your annual dues ($24 per individual, $36 per family, or $12 for youth) and you’re in!

Dues may be paid at a club meeting, or you can send them to our treasurer, along with your membership application to: treasurer@valleyradioclub.org

If you are a member and wish a club roster, send an email to: roster@valleyradioclub.org
