Yes. TGIF membership is from July 1st to June 30. Membership fees are due annually.

What if I decide not to pay my membership dues this year? Am I still a member? Can I attend TGIF events/enrichment programs?

No. You are a member in good standing only if you paid the membership dues this year. Most TGIF events and all enrichment programs are open only to TGIF members in good standing.

I am already a member of TGIF Yahoo/Google Group. How can I be a Group member if I am not a member?

At the moment, it is not easy for TGIF to remove Group members who do not continue with TGIF for any reason. However, being part of the Yahoo/Google Group does not give you current member status. Most TGIF events/programs are for members only. Yahoo/Google Group will inform you of such programs, but will not give you access to them.

Not sure if I am a member

How can I check if I am a current TGIF member?

Please start with your mailbox. If you find a mail from wildapricot@giftedinfremont.org confirming your payment and membership approval/renewal, you are a member. You may need to check all the e-mail accounts you use in the family. Use the e-mail address you found the e-mail at, and log into your TGIF account at http://tgif.wildapricot.org/sys/login.  If you have forgotten the password, use the link on that page.  

If you do not find any e-mail from TGIF, check for an e-mail from PayPal. If you do not find any such e-mails, you are very likely not a member.

Joining TGIF

Is the TGIF membership fee refundable?

No, it is not. It has to do with volunteer resources. If you are joining the TGIF so you can participate in a specific member-only activity/program, please make sure the registration is still open. Status for all programs is updated on the website within a reasonable time.

Is the TGIF membership fee prorated if I join in the middle of the year?

No, the fee is quite small. TGIF would rather spend its volunteer resources on putting together programs of value far more than the annual fees than processing prorated fees.

Does it matter what e-mail address I provide to the TGIF?

So far as it is your e-mail address, you are fine! It is like creating an account with any other website using your e-mail address.
