New Household Membership: $15

This is currently a one-time fee. Membership renewal dues, when needed, are addressed on a periodic basis - typically every few years. A single membership fee will cover all members of a household.

2025 Membership Renewal: $10

The board recently voted to collect renewal dues from existing members in order to refresh our membership list. Those who joined the club after December 31, 2023 are exempt from the renewal. Those who joined before are asked to contribute $10 to remain active members.

The club last collected renewal dues in 2017. For more details, including payment information, visit our 2025 Renewal Page.

Membership Registration Instructions

Scroll down and follow this three-step process to join (new members only):

Step 1
Send payment using one of the methods below:

Option A - Bank transfer using Zelle through your banking app
Use your banking app or website and choose Send Money with Zelle. Add new recipient "GCBC" with email address gcbctreasurersc@gmail.com. This is the preferred payment method, since Zelle's fees are significantly smaller than PayPal's, meaning that the club receives more.
To learn more, visit Zelle.
Option B - PayPal
Use the Pay Now button to send payment via PayPal. Note that this allows online payment whether or not you have a PayPal account. You will be taken to PayPal's website to complete the payment, after which you will be returned here.
