How Do I Join? To join the Connecticut Blue Star Mothers, print the application below and mail it with your $20.00 check for your annual dues if you are a mom (there are no dues for Dads or Associates). Mark the application with "Connecticut Blue Star Mothers", "CT - Chapter One" and 'join'. Checks should be made out to 'Connecticut Blue Star Mothers'. Mail your completed application and check to: Connecticut Blue Star Mothers PO Box 94 Plymouth, CT 06782 Attention: Donna Sanford, Membership Officer PLEASE REMEMBER -- National requires annual registration. They consider you a member of the BSMoA ONLY FOR THE YEAR/S FOR WHICH YOU ARE REGISTERED AND YOUR DUES ARE PAID. Thus, membership in the CT BSM also requires annual membership applications (marked as 'renewal') and the twenty dollar dues per year, as we must submit and report all memberships and finances annually to the Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. If you join the organization during the months of October, November and December, your $20.00 registration will also apply to the following year. We request, however, that you fill out a membership application for both the year you are joining when you join -- AND -- an application for the the following year when January arrives (as we must give copies to National). Contact The Connecticut Blue Star Mothers directly if you need help with the above process on joining. To do this, contact Rev. Lin McGee at 111 Marshall St., Winsted, CT 06098 --- Phone: 860-379-1298 -- or Email: Blue.Star.Mothers.Rev.Lin.McGee@gmail.com
PROCESS OF APPLICATION:
What is the financial cost of being a Blue Star Mother? The cost for membership in Blue Star Mothers is $20.00 (twenty dollars) annually. Dues are paid at the time that you join (sent along with your application). After that, membership dues are collected once a year with December being the membership renewal month. (We must complete roster, give applications, and submit dues to National by January 23 each year - for that year. They have recently decided that we will be fined 3.00 a month per mother for each month we are late after that date.)
There are also pins for the moms, the dads, and the associates that are members of Blue Star Mothers of America. If you would like a membership pin, please visit the National website (www.BlueStarMothers.org) to place your order.
If you are a Gold Star Family Member, the Connecticut Blue Star Mothers invites you to be an honorary member. We will still need you to fill out a membership application each year, but there are no dues in our Chapter for Gold Star Mothers.
