Membership in the Coachella Valley Desert Camera Club is open to all those with a serious interest in the photographic arts. Annual dues are currently $50, payable before the first of each year. This covers participation in two meetings per month (the Club holds a regular and a DIPSIG meeting each month except July and August); participation in Club competitions; and free subscriptions to the Club newsletter e-focus (the newsletter is distributed electronically via web postings, but members receive early notification).
New members who join during the year are charged $5 per "club month" (excluding July and August) for the rest of the year (excluding their "free" visit).
