The GVR Lapidary and Silversmith Club is one of the largest clubs of its type in the United States. We operate three lapidary and silversmithing centers in Green Valley. Each center includes a shop, equipment for members to use for lapidary and silversmith activities, and classrooms for the many courses we teach through the club. We encourage all members to utilize each of the facilities to meet other club members and become familiar with the equipment available in each of the shops.
The annual dues of $60 are due by January 1st. We encourage you to pay early. New members who join in October, November or December will get those months added to their next year's membership.
Questions about membership? - Contact Us.
Members are required to read Shop Rules (click the link for the rules). Feel free to print the rules for your records. This is important information about your health and safety while enjoying the benefits of the GVR Lapidary and Silversmith Club.
If you'd like to renew your Lapidary Club Membership without filling out the form again, follow these steps:
Please fill out the application in its entirety. For example, the “in case of emergency” information could be a lifesaver in case of a medical emergency in the shop. Also, please indicate how you would like to fulfill your 24 volunteer hours per year by completing the Volunteer Survey.
After you complete the online membership application you can choose between paying online or printing an invoice. If you print an invoice, bring it to one of the centers with your payment to receive a receipt for your dues.
If you would like a club name badge, they are available at the cashier station for the cost of $10.
