How to Join or Renew Your Membership

Prospective members are always welcome. While COVID-19 restrictions are in place, all our meetings are now held online using ZOOM. You can attend a meeting for free either by contacting a current member or sending a request directly to our Webmaster. You will receive an email with instructions on joining the ZOOM meeting.

Registration of membership includes annual payment of club dues, so returning members are asked to re-register and pay their dues each year in September at the beginning of the new club season.  Until we are able to resume physical monthly meetings, all registrations (with dues payments) will be made online.  All dues payments are made via PayPal.  You do not need to have a PayPal account to submit your payment;  you only need a working credit card.

If you cannot pay your dues via PayPal, please email our Treasurer to arrange an alternate payment method.

Membership runs for the CPOPC club season from September through August and should normally be paid on or before the second regular club meeting (October meeting).  Returning Memberships are annual and must be renewed before November each year.
