If you’re not already a member of S.A.M.S., we’d love to have you!

To become a member, you must first attend 2 S.A.M.S. meetings, functions or events. This will give you the opportunity to meet other club members and see the kind of activities you can be involved in, before you make the commitment to join the club.

Once you have attended 2 meetings, functions or events, and are ready to join, complete a membership application form.
S.A.M.S. Membership Form (Word)

Mail form, along with a check for your membership fee to the Membership Chair at the address shown on the form.

Please be sure to read the S.A.M.S. Constitution

After your completed form and check have been received, your name will be read at the next S.A.M.S. meeting, and will be published in the next club newsletter.

At the meeting following the reading and publishing of your application, the club membership will vote on approval of your membership into the S.A.M.S. club.

As you are waiting to become an “official” member, you are welcome at any S.A.M.S. meetings, functions or events!
