SUPPORTING MEMBERSHIPS: $50 for an individual, valid for 1 year, and earns entry fee discounts.
The club operates on a cash basis. However, you can reimburse me (use Donate with PayPal button) to get the cash to the club.
Also, we are also looking for one Black King. With all the extra pieces we collect, you would think we could complete this set. My Kingdom for a King!
