Membership

Join the club or renew for the year

One form covers both new memberships and renewals. Most people can handle it in three steps: open the PDF, fill it out, and bring or mail it with payment.

Dues $30 individual or $40 family for the year.
Payment Pay at a meeting or mail a check with the form.
Not sure yet? You can come to a meeting first before deciding to join.
Step 1 Open the membership PDF

The same form works whether this is your first year or a renewal.

Step 2 Fill it out at home

Bring the completed form with you, or mail it in with your payment.

Step 3 Pay at a meeting or by mail

There is no online checkout right now, so payment stays simple and offline.

Club community Membership is really about the meetings, members, and shared work

People stay involved because of the demonstrations, shop talk, open shop time, and the friendships that come with it.

No. The same PDF form handles both first-time membership and annual renewal.

AAW membership is recommended, but it is not required to belong to Chicago Woodturners.

Can I visit before joining?

Yes. Visitors are welcome, and plenty of members came to a meeting or two before they joined. Start with Events for the next date and location.
