Become a Sustaining Member of CERA

The Central Electric Railfans' Association depends on contributions from members like you to be able to put on the one-of-a-kind programs and publications it does throughout the course of the year.

Sustaining members have the same rights and receive the same benefits as Active members. They help support CERA through their higher dues. The portion of those higher dues beyond the Active Membership level is deductible for income tax purposes as provided by law. Sustaining members are further recognized by having their names published annually in the report to the membership.

Membership is based on a simple calendar year. All members, regardless of class of membership, receive a book published by the organization for that year (usually published the year after its designated membership year).

Some books are two year books, meaning that the member had to have been a paid member for the specified two years to receive the book.

Sustaining Membership - $240 (Double that of Contributing Membership)

Benefits:

• Bulletin (book) when issued for that membership year

• Notice of all fan/inspection trips
• Right to run for Board and serve on the Board if elected
• Right to elect Board members
• Right to serve on committees
• Right to vote on amendments to the bylaws and any other matters to come before the Active membership
