Associate Membership

Current voting members may at any time elect to become an Associate Member by giving notice to the Membership Chairman.

Associate members may receive the newsletter; may only attend two meetings per year; may attend workshops, field trips, and other activities if space permits; and may participate in the quilt show. Associate membership does not include the right to vote or to participate in the lending library, block-of-the-month, or challenge.

An associate member may request to be reinstated to full membership without being put on the waiting list. Should this request exceed the membership limit, no new members will be taken into membership from the waiting list until such time as the membership falls below the capped number.
