Junior Membership
What is Junior Membership?
Junior Membership is for young collectors between 5 years and 18 years of age. The purpose is to provide education related to the hobby of collecting salt and pepper shakers in a fun and entertaining way. They receive their own printed color newsletter, “Junior News,” and are listed in the Junior Membership Roster. See benefits.
Junior membership stands alone and does NOT require a Primary Membership in the same household although parental/guardian permission is required. They may NOT hold a national office or chair a committee.
How much are the Junior Members’ dues?
The dues for Junior Members in the United States, Canada, and Mexico are $10 per year and all other countries $15 per year; however, thanks to the generous donations from our members and chapters the dues for Junior Members have been waived by a vote of the Board of Directors for several years now.
How can I become a Junior Member?
Complete the Junior Member Application/Renewal Form and follow the easy instructions to submit it.
