Download and fill out the membership application. Then give it to the membership chairperson along with your check at a Club meeting.
Download and fill out the membership application. Then mail the application and your check to LAVGC, Attn: Membership, P.O. Box 12093, Pleasanton, CA 94588
Scan your filled and signed membership application and send it to membership@lavgc.org. Then pay your dues by either:

There are a couple of ways to be reimbursed for purchases you have made:
Fill out the Request for Payment and send it to our Treasurer Chris Swanson at 6650 Crow Canyon Rd., Castro Valley, CA, 94552.
Pay via email using the email address treasurer@lavgc.org
You can send any reimbursement requests or invoices that need to be paid to the treasurer@lavgc.org email address. When you send a request or invoice to this email address, include a picture of your receipt and the same information in the message that is on the reimbursement request form. Chris doesn’t need the form. If you want your reimbursement via PayPal or Venmo, include your PayPal or Venmo email address or user name in the email.
