Membership

Eligibility Requirements

Due to the deep history of the organization, there are eligibility requirements. Any female blood relative 10 years of age or older, of an honorably discharged Union soldier, Sailor, or Marine of the Civil War 1861-1865, as well as ex-army Nurses, are eligible for membership. Most importantly, however, is the desire to honor the past through education and preservation.

Dues are subject to the Circle in which you are joining. Application paperwork accompanying your dues should be sent to the Circle Secretary.

If no Circle or local group can be found in your area, join as a Member-at-Large. Dues for Members-at-Large are $15.00 per year. An application fee of $50 should be sent with application paperwork to the National Treasurer, Janice Corfman. This application fee covers the cost of processing, paperwork, membership badge, first years dues, and a copy of both the ritual and rules and regulations:

Janice Corfman
