If you are interested in becoming a member, all you need to do is send us your name, address, phone numbers, year, make and model of VW’s owned. Owning a VW is not required for membership, there are plenty of enthusiasts out there who are still searching for their dream car or project. Our meetings are the 3rd Tuesday of every month. Dues are $24/year per family. You can either mail it to us at the address below, or bring it to a meeting.   Members not paid by the end of January will lose their membership privileges (such as they are) ie…voting, discounts on club merchandise, having their cars featured on the website, etc. The meeting location changes occasionally, so check our Club News page or home page for the time and location of our next meeting.

If you are a member, please email us a photo of your air-cooled VW(s) so Jeff can get it (them) in the Members’ Rides page.

One AACVWs window sticker is included with your membership. We will also send out a monthly meeting reminder of when, where, and what’s up in the local car scene. If you don’t want to receive these emails, you can always opt out with an email request.
