Types of Memberships and Prices

1. Domestic Electronic Version: You live within the U.S. and will receive an electronic version of The Festivus emailed to you. $20.00 per year.


2. Domestic Hard Copy Version: You live within the U.S. and will receive an electronic version of The Festivus emailed to you, as well as a hard copy of The Festivus mailed to your home address or P.O. Box. $40.00 per year (starting in 2022).

3. Outside the U.S. Electronic Version: You live outside the U.S. and will receive an electronic version of The Festivus emailed to you. $20.00 per year.
​

4. Outside the U.S. Hard Copy Version (see note below): 
You live outside the U.S. and will receive an electronic version of The Festivus emailed to you, as well as a hard copy of The Festivus mailed to your home address or P.O. Box. $120.00 per year (starting in December 2022).

It is with great regret that the club has had to raise its annual membership fee for hard copies of The Festivus for non-United States-based members to the $120 per year listed above, due to dramatically increased shipped costs. 

Late Membership Renewal Rules (as of January 2023)

Renewal memberships must be received before June 1st to receive the membership pricing of $40 hardcopy and $20 electronic.

Payments received after June 1st will be charges an additional $5 five dollars per issue for hardcopy or electronic versions of The Festivus. For example, if payment is received on June 2nd, then the member will be requested to pay an additional $10 ($5 for the February issue and $5 for the May issue) before they are sent The Festivus. In essence, they would be paying $50 for hardcopy and $30 for electronic version for that year’s membership. If renewal is made after the publication of the August issue, the additional charge will be $15 or $5 for the February, May, and August issues.

It is important to note that the San Diego Shell Club relies on membership renewals to offset the cost of publishing The Festivus. While the Club has suggested that there would be additional charges to members that do not pay in a timely manner, the suggestion without implementation has not had the desired affect of reducing this problem. Consequently, the Club will now strictly adhere to this protocol in the hopes of inspiring timely renewal to avoid the additional expense.
