If you would like to join the grotto, please print out the form linked below, and either bring it to a monthly meeting, or mail it to the address below:

San Francisco Bay Chapter
National Speleological Society
c/o Treasurer
PO Box 2282
Menlo Park, CA 94026

Regular membership in the SFBC is $18.00 annually. This includes an electronic copy of the monthly newsletter. If you prefer a paper copy of the newsletter through the US Mail there is a $12 additional fee. Family membership, which includes all members of your immediate family, is $7.00 additional. Checks should be made out to "SFBC-NSS." If you can not print the form, feel free to "create your own." Just be sure to include all the requested information. $10 of the $18 SFBC membership fee automatically goes to pay your membership in the Western Region of the NSS.

If you are not currently an NSS member, you can not be a "regular" member of the grotto. Essentially what this means is that you can not vote at grotto elections, and can not hold office. Please sign up for "associate" membership instead. When you become a member of the NSS, let us know by giving us your NSS number, and we will upgrade your membership to regular.

Note:  If you are a current member and late paying your dues, you must pay $18.00 to renew your membership, regardless of which month you send it. The current Chair refuses to reward those who are lagging on paying their dues ontime by giving them a discount.

Note:  At the 2002 Western Regional Business Meeting, it was decided that WR dues would be increased from $6 to $10.
