¹ This page is intended for new RAS members only. If you are renewing membership, please use this page. A New Member is one who has not been a dues-paying member of the Riverside Astronomical Society during the previous two membership cycles. The RAS membership renewal cycle begins in June of each year. New members who join the RAS in March, April, May or June of a given year will have their membership extended through June of the next calendar year. For example, if you join the RAS in March 2050, your paid membership fee covers you through June 2051. If you decide to continue your membership, regular renewal rates will apply as of the following July.
