Mattole Valley Historical Society
How To Join
Membership fees are $10.00. We would like everyone to be able to join.
Dues and donations cover the production and mailing of four newsletters a year, office supplies, historical resources
and documents, mailing, phone and computer costs, etc. We are currently planning grant proposals to begin to pay
the volunteers who make all this happen--so far, nobody has been financially reimbursed. The Mattole Grange has
been a great help; they have generously provided the room used as office and library, and let us decorate the hall
with old photographs. We also host most of our meetings and social events at the Grange.
Membership entails no obligations. You pay your dues, you receive
the newsletter and are welcome to borrow books, tapes, documents, etc., from the library. However, if you would
like to sit on the Board, we have meetings at least four times a year, at which times we discuss upcoming events,
newsletter articles and schedules, finances, purchases... and history! Let us know if you'd be interested in being
part of the Board, or if you can join in the volunteer effort to preserve and celebrate local history in any way.
