Club membership will be of benefit to you. It will give you the opportunity to meet with other dog lovers in the area. It will also give you an inside look into the world of dogs including showing, training, breeding, and legislation issues. And, it will provide you an opportunity to give back to the fancy by participating in the planning and working of shows and matches and the other activities that come up from time to time.
Albany Kennel Club always welcomes new members, but of course we do have our process. This follows:
- Get an application form. The link will lead to a pdf copy of our membership form.
Membership Form Fillable . It’s a fillable form. You can fill it out and download or print completed form to your laptop machine. Sorry, completion by smartphone not guaranteed. - Fill it out, both pages, and sign.
- Make out a check for dues based on fiscal year. (The club’s fiscal year runs from April 1 to March 31.) From April 1 to September 30, make the check out for the full current fiscal year dues. From October 1 to January 31, make the check out for half the current fiscal year’s dues plus next fiscal year’s dues. From February 1 to March 31, make the check out for just next fiscal year’s dues. Annual dues are $10.00 for individuals and $15.00 for couples.
- Get form to Secretary. Either mail the form and check to the Secretary or hand carry them to a meeting of the Albany Kennel Club and give them to the Secretary there.
