Membership

The guild is a membership-driven organization. An annual individual membership costs $25; each guild membership year begins in September and runs through the following August. All the money collected is put towards fiber programming and education in the Boston area. The membership entitles one to attend the guild meetings for free, as well as receive discounts to other special events.

If you pay the $5 guest fee at a meeting and become a member by the end of the meeting, your guest fee will count towards your guild membership. We cannot count guest fees from previous meetings towards guild membership.

Membership is seasonal — meaning that no matter when you join, your membership is good until the end of the season. Seasons run from September to July. For this reason, we stop taking new memberships after our 4th meeting of the season, and start taking memberships for the next season at our last (July) meeting. We feel it’s not fair to new members to join only for a couple of meetings when everyone else gets to reap the benefits for the better part of a year.

However, we are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and welcome donations outside of membership dues during any time of the year.

Join the Common Cod for the 2012-13 Season now!
