Membership Requirements
You or your business must reside within the Walkersville, Woodsboro or Glade Valley area. We try to be lenient on location, but any fringe businesses will need to be specially approved by the group officers.
First Year Events, FREE!
Starting in 2024, we’ll be paying the entry fees for our new executive members to participate in some local Walkersville events, if they wish to do so. These events include the Walkersville Library’s Farmer’s Market (May – September from 9am – 1pm), the library’s Trunk or Treat (Halloween) and Chriskindlmarket (early December).
The total value if you participate in all 3 events is $75, which is $35 above our membership cost.
Meetings and Events
We meet once a month at 8am at the Walkersville Library in the main meeting room, the dates are posted in our events calendar. All of our members are automatically entered to the meeting mailing list, so reminders are sent beforehand. Our meetings are very causal and everyone gets a chance to speak on any topic they feel passionate about.
Meetings are not mandatory, but we highly advise for you to attend.
