Membership

              
IAFM invites you and your family to be a member and explore the opportunity to socialize and enjoy living in Fort Myers. For a nominal membership fee of $50, you and your family can be the members of our organization. This year, in addition to the single and the family membership we are introducing a new “Life Membership” option as it is a better value in the long term. We encourage you to choose the “Life Membership” option.

As of now, 200 families are our members and all of us live here like a big family and help each other out, whenever necessary. You will be pleased to find a thriving community of Indian professionals from all walks of life in Fort Myers; business men, doctors, realtors, educators; performers and so on.

IAFM prints a membership directory every year and each family gets two copies of this directory. If you do not want your name or phone number to be printed in this directory, please let us know. We will make sure that your name does not appear in the directory.

For detailed information on Membership and Dues please check the By Laws. IAFM accepts membership payments only by Checks and do not accept cash or money orders. Please make sure to enclose your check along with the membership form.

Dues

Beginning January 2007, new members do not have to pay the initiation fee. Please note that the membership dues are changing starting from the year 2012 as follows:

  Individual   $50.00
  Family   $75.00
  Life Membership Individual   $750.00
  Life Membership Family   $1000.00


Membership forms (new/renewal/update) can be downloaded from our website http://www.iafortmyers.org

Annual dues are traditionally collected at the Diwali function, but you need not wait until Diwali. By mailing your membership dues check in advance you will reduce your waiting time at the Diwali entrance gate.

Membership checks can be mailed to

Please note: As per the new bylaws, life membership is non-transferable. Membership dues not paid by March 31st will be considered delinquent, resulting in removal from the Mailing List and Membership Directory of the India Association.
