Membership in The Stretch Glass Society has many benefits including a subscription to the Quarterly, our information-packed newsletter.  Those who are primarily interested in a subscription to the Quarterly should sign up as an E-member.  Your subscription to the Quarterly will begin immediately and continue when you renew your E-membership each December.

​

Two types of annual memberships are available:  E-memberships are for those who wish to receive the Quarterly newsletter and most other communications by email.  M-memberships are for those who prefer to receive the Quarterly newsletter in printed form and all other communications by US Mail.  While both versions of our newsletter are in full color, the email version is easily saved on your computer for future reference and is typically received a few days earlier than the ones which are mailed.

 

A membership in The Stretch Glass Society may be for an individual or for all members, age 18 and over, of the same household living at one address. For example, if Jane and John Doe living at 1 Main St, Your Town, USA, are both interested in learning about stretch glass and supporting The Stretch Glass Society, only 1 membership is necessary.  Both Jane and John will be considered members but only 1 membership needs to be purchased/renewed.  One copy of our newsletter and one convention registration form will be provided per membership. Multiple individuals may register for our annual convention on the registration form.

 

E-memberships are $18.00 per household per year.  M-memberships are $32.00 per household per year for those with a US mailing address and $32.00 for those with a mailing address in Canada.  Please contact us for rates in other jurisdictions.  All payments for memberships should be remitted in US dollars.  All memberships extend through December 31 of the current year and must be renewed at that time to continue receiving The Quarterly newsletter and other membership benefits.
