I did receive a package of the paperwork that they require you to fill out for membership. I have since lost interest in becoming a member but I seem to recall that there is an option for you to join 'At Large' which means your membership doesn't need to be associated with a particular chapter. You might want to contact the organization's national headquarters - probably something online will point the way. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
