# Membership

## Why join

Since 1976, the Steveston Historical Society has worked to preserve and share the
history of Steveston. Members make that work possible.

 * Your membership helps fund our programs, walking tours and heritage projects.
 * You have a say in how the Society is run, and can stand for its board.
 * You hear about what’s coming up, and ways to get involved, before most people
   do.

## More for members

We’re growing what membership offers. Here’s what members can look forward to:

 * **A membership card** with your name, your member number and the year you joined.
 * **An early booking window.** Tours and programs with limited places appear in
   the member newsletter first, usually about a week before they’re posted publicly.
 * **Member prices on walking tours,** set for each tour.
 * **Invitations to member events** from time to time, such as an opening reception
   for a Pop-Up art show or a walking tour with our Executive Director.
 * **Starting in spring 2027, a member discount on SHS merchandise**. The discount
   does not apply to artists’ work.

We’ll share details in the newsletter as each of these gets underway.
