Membership Opportunities
Thank you for the interest in our Club. Our membership is currently open for New Member opportunities. If you would like, I will put your name on the list for the next New Member orientation session in 2025. The meetings are held one or two days a month based on need, so if you are unable to attend a scheduled meeting at predesignated time due to work schedules or family commitments, please call Faye and make arrangements for a different time and day of the week. Attendance at a meeting is the first part of gaining membership in the Club. We will be covering information on the Club, rules and guidelines for the ranges, and the different types of membership/dues; along with a brief safety presentation/reminders.
Starting June 1st, Mars Rod and Gun Club (MRGC) has made significant changes to its current membership program. We are now offering Regular membership, Junior membership (up to age 17), Family membership (Regular member, spouse/significant other or an 18-23 yr old attending college and two Juniors), Associate and Military membership.
The New Member Orientation session is the beginning of gaining membership to the Club, along with attendance at the meeting when you will be introduced to the membership and voted in. The annual dues will now be prorated by quarter and the chart below demonstrates this.
