2025-2026 Active Membership Renewal *

(Please note important changes below.)

There are specific “Active” membership requirements in the Cassina Garden Club. These include the following responsibilities:

  • Attend at least three monthly meetings each year

  • Actively serve on at least one Standing or Special Committee

  • Participate in the maintenance of the gardens on scheduled days or upon special request

  • Actively participate in the Club’s two major fundraisers: the Christmas Bake Sale and the Garden Walk, including the purchase of a ticket

  • Occasionally serve as a Docent at the cabins for scheduled tours

  • Keep yearly dues current ($130 + $5 for processing fee and includes cost for Cassina Yearbook). Dues DO NOT include the cost of a Garden Walk ticket.

  • Abide by Cassina’s “Code of Conduct” (below)

COMMITTEE REQUESTS: Our By-Laws require Active Members to serve on at least one committee. Some committees require many hands to get the job done; others require only a few. Committee Chairs are charged with establishing the size of their committee.

New Standing Rule (passed by Board): MEMBERS MAY BE ON MULTIPLE COMMITTEES, BUT THEY MAY ONLY SERVE AS CHAIRPERSON ON ONE COMMITTEE EACH YEAR.

New Article under III-Membership: ALL MEMBERS OF THE CASSINA GARDEN CLUB SHALL CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN A RESPECTFUL AND APPROPRIATE MANNER DURING MEETINGS, AT EVENTS, AND WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

Article IV-Dues: DUES SHALL BE SET BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Board passed a dues increase to $130 (+$5 for processing fee) due to increased costs since last set in 2014.
