How Do I Join HGMS/Renew My Membership?
The Fall show is the perfect time to join the HGMS or to renew your membership! Membership dues are as follows:
- $20.00 for an individual for a year (cash or check)/$21 if you charge your membership at the Show.
- $25.00 for a family for a year (cash or check)/$26 if you charge your membership at the Show. (A family membership is two adults and all children under age 18 living in the same household plus grandchildren whose parents are not members.)
When you join at the Show, the membership application is provided at the Information Booth. Simply fill in your information and return the application with your dues to the Membership Chair. Otherwise, open the membership application, print it, fill in your information, and mail the application with your check to the address shown or give it to the Membership Chair at the next membership meeting. When you renew your membership, you don’t need to fill in an application unless your information has changed. New and renewing members will receive a membership card for the coming year.
Remember that your membership expires October 1st of each year. Dues are payable/renewable by no later than December 31st.

November: Topaz – Colorless topaz that’s been treated to blue is a mass-market gem, but fine pink-to-red, purple, or orange gems are one-of-a-kind. Top sources include Ouro Prêto, Brazil, and Russia’s Ural Mountains. Citrine – This gemstone’s color comes from traces of iron. Citrine is perhaps the most popular and frequently purchased yellow gemstone and an attractive alternative for topaz and yellow sapphire. Source:
