Are you a New Member? (First-time Membership)

This is the standard selection to join the AMC through our Chapter. The Chapter is pleased to offer a special discounted first-year membership to those who have never ever belonged to AMC before. Click below to link to the application form. You may sign up online using a credit card, or if you dislike online purchasing, print the form and mail it, with your check or money order or credit-card number, to AMC, 5 Tudor City Place, New York NY 10017.

We will mail your Chapter Activity Schedule within a few days of your applying. The Club will mail your Membership ID about two weeks later, but you needn't wait for it to arrive to start enjoying our outings.

If you apply for Junior or Senior membership, which are already discount-priced, and thus not included in the special Chapter offer, you will be linked to the Club website. (Sorry, it will be 2-3 weeks before we can mail your Activity Schedule; we have to wait for the Club to send us a list of recent new members.)

What better inspiration to give someone you care for than an AMC Membership. Get one for yourself or a friend -- or one for each friend and join the fun together! (The fee is an annual fee. You will be reminded to renew next year. To renew, please use the link above.)
