Thinking of joining our club?  

Members receive an engraved badge, an official “Rockhound” sticker, access to club sponsored rockhounding field trips (which frequently visit locations not open to individuals), knowledgeable and experienced guest speakers at our monthly general meetings, complimentary refreshments at our meetings, meeting door prizes and raffles, a monthly newsletter, and access to the club lapidary workshop.

The annual membership dues are $12 per adult (over 16).  Dues are valid January 1st  through December 31st. Member dues paid after January will be prorated monthly.

Becoming a member is easy!

The easiest and more fun way to become a member is to attend one of our general meetings! Stop by any general meeting held at 5:30pm on the 1st Thursday of each month (except July & August) at the Cottonwood Moose Lodge #1449 located at 1051 S. Broadway Street in Cottonwood, AZ.

The 2nd vice president in charge of membership will be at the sign in table as you enter to greet you and provide you with a membership packet. Come on by and enjoy some refreshments and make some new friends!

If you can't make a meeting, feel free to print and fill out a Membership Application and send it along with your payment in form of check or money order to our mailing address:
