The benefits of
membership, and activities our
members participate in, are summarized as follows:
-
NEW benefit for 2007! Your own custom-engraved beer mug with our club logo and your own name beneath the logo, is available at a cost of $21 each (shipping included). They are 12.5 ounce, heavy-weight glass mugs, with beautiful detail work on our logo and your name. New or existing members may also purchase additional mugs with your name on them (i.e. create your own set!). The delivered cost per mug depends on the order quantity...single mugs will cost an estimated $25 each and the price per mug goes down as the quantity increases.

Personalized, hand-painted tasting glass by Melinda Byrd for $15. For each glass, $5 is donated back to the club by Melinda. Just tell her what you want (within reason and good taste), and she'll take it from there. The glasses currently available are eight-ounce Pilsener-shaped beer glasses, nicely proportioned with a heavy base. Contact Melinda Byrd directly (410-549-4889 or byrdcall@aol.com) to commission your personalized glass.
What's the cost of all this frivolity? Dirt cheap, we think. We have memberships for either singles or couples. Our first-year dues are pro-rated quarterly, depending on when you join according to the following schedule. Then in January, all memberships renew for the full year.
| Quarter | Single | Couple |
| January-March | $15 | $25 |
| April-June | $12 | $19 |
| July-September | $8 | $13 |
| October-December | $4 | $6 |
If you'd like to join the club, you have two options:
- Click here for a form to complete, print and mail in with a check, or
- Pay right now, online with PayPal, the secure online service. You may pay with a credit card or fund your membership dues directly from your bank account. Select the desired membership type and the month in which you are joining from the drop-down list, and hit the PayPal icon. If you are not a PayPal member, signing up is fast, easy and SECURE. Because PayPal charges service fees, electronic dues payments are slightly higher...think of them as the rough equivalent of a postage stamp and an envelope:
