Joining SAW is not an
automated process. It can take up to two weeks to
complete the process. Please be patient and we will get
your materials to you as soon as possible. If you wish
to be able to log in to the Members section right away,
send a note to for a temporary login password.
There are three different
methods that you can use to join SAW by using
information on the SAW web site.
Join Using PDF- You
can print a pdf copy of an application with your printer, fill it
out, and mail it in to SAW.
Join Option B- You
can type your information onto an online application,
print it with your printer, and mail it in to SAW.
Pay Pal Join - You
can fill out the online form and pay through Pay Pal and
have the entire process happen online.
Note:
These are not the pages to use to renew
your SAW membership. Please log in to the Members
section to find the renewal pages.
Want to learn more about SAW before
deciding to join?
Then click on the Sample Copy button
on the right
to get a Sample Copy of our newsletter along with
an application blank.
We are not able
to send a FREE complimentary copy of the newsletter any
longer. With three increases in postage costs since
1998, and with the larger size and content of the
newsletter, this practice is no longer feasible. You can
still receive a historical copy of the newsletter to
help you in your decision to join SAW, but there is now
a cost associated with it.
A sample
newsletter will be sent to you at a cost of
$5.This amount of money can be deducted from
your membership dues if you later decide to join SAW. So for
those of you who decide to join, there is no cost for
the sample newsletter. This amount is the same no matter
where you live in the world.
In
addition to the newsletter, you will also receive a copy
of our application blank. After looking over the
newsletter we hope that you will join the Association and
become a vital part of our growing community.
Still can't decide?

to see exactly what SAW has to offer. We are sure that
you will agree that this will be a valuable membership
for you. Check back often to see what new and exciting
events SAW is planning to help you in your scrolling
efforts.
Read this before choosing the
application method!
With each of the
Application methods listed above you will be asked to
make some decisions. With the Print methods
you can decide as you fill out the application the type
of membership you wish. With the Pay Pal method
you must make that decision prior to selecting the
application method in order to select the correct dues
amount.
There are three basic
types of Membership. Select the membership type that you
want
Individual - An Individual
Membership will be in your name only.
Family - A Family Membership
will have two names, but only one mailing address.
Select as your primary member (1) the person who
lives at the address you enter.
Business/Professional - The
Business Membership is intended for people who have
a business where their customers are scrollers.
There is no restriction on a Business Membership. If
you want one, you can certainly get one. The
advantage for Scrolling vendors to join as a
Business is that your business will be listed in
each issue of SAW Dust and the Directory as a
Business Member that supports SAW. We encourage our
members to support those business's. This
advertising is free to all of our Business Members.
After you have
decided the type of membership you desire, your
location will determine the amount of dues for your
membership. Since mailing costs are less for those
members residing in the USA, their dues are lower.
Gift Membership
You also have the option
of purchasing a Membership in SAW as a gift for someone
else. You can include with the membership a Gift Card
that will tell the recipient who is giving him/her this
gift. The location of the gift recipient determines the
amount of dues needed.
Write a check or obtain a money
order in US funds made out to the Scrollsaw
Association of the World. The fees are:

Special note to our overseas scrollers:
We understand the difficulty and expense
of obtaining US funds in order to join the Association.
The Pay Pal method of joining is an attempt to help that
situation. You can pay in your own currency, or with a
credit card and you do NOT have to sign up with
Pay Pal for a permanent account with them. You may still
mail an application in with a money order if you so
desire. Irregardless of whether you join SAW, we encourage
you to contact other scrollers in your area. Form a
Local Chapter of Scrollers whether or not you are
affiliated with the Scrollsaw Association of the World.
As the world changes it is more likely that more methods
of handling payments will become available. When these
methods are finally in place, you will all ready
have established a community of scrollers. In the
meantime, take advantage of the various ways that SAW is
helping you to join the worldwide community. Join the
E-Mail discussion group, if at all possible, join with
one or more online chat rooms. There is a lot that can
be accomplished locally. Feel free to contact the Board
of Director member from SAW who is in charge of Local
Chapters. They have many good ideas that will help you
to find and maintain a viable group.
If the Pay Pal method
here does not help your situation, please let us know. If you perceive problems that we have
not yet seen, please let us know what they are so that
we can aid in resolving them. If there are special
interests that you have that are missing from this web
site, again let us know. You can contact
SAW with an e-mail note. Thank you for your help and we
look forward to the time when you will be able to join
SAW as a full fledged member.
You can also renew your membership to SAW thru Pay
Pal. If this method of joining works for you, rest assured that you will
be able to continue your membership utilizing the same methods.
