GVCP Membership Renewal

It’s time for GVCP Membership Renewal! Please take a moment to review our 2022 activities, then renew your membership. Members are the (renewable) fuel of our organization; we are able to do what we do because of you!

Dues are $40.00 (less if necessary, more if possible). We do not request dues from students, or from other organizations with which we exchange newsletters. GVCP only asks for financial contributions once a year. Membership dues are our sole source of income. GVCP is a chapter of Peace Action New York State (PANYS); $5.00 of your dues goes to PANYS. If you’re a new member, or already paid, thank you! We appreciate your support.
