How to Join the Circumnavigators Club

 

Joining the Circumnavigators Club requires that you have made a trip around the world. Prospective members are asked to trace on an application how they circumnavigated the globe. The route must cross all the meridians of longitude in one direction, but does not have to be completed in a single trip. They must be sponsored and seconded by any two members of the Circumnavigators Club, who submit written letters of recommendation to the Board of Governors, which makes the final approval.

It's easy to get started. Contact Karen Schlueter, our Vice President of Membership, on the phone at 708-246-6095 or via e-mail at KAS345@aol.com. She will suggest that you attend one or more of our events -- listed on our Home Page -- so you can meet some local members. She will also answer your questions on how to complete the application. You can download the two page application by clicking here and printing it on your home computer. Karen can mail you an application if you prefer.
