NOTE: joining the Meetup group gets you into a flow of information about club events, many of which are free to attend, BUT IT DOES NOT provide you with a full membership. Full membership is necessary for overnight trips such as a weekend or week-long ski trip. Club dues help to pay for our monthly meeting space at the Jeffersonville Golf Club.
