MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION

THANK YOU FOR REQUESTING MEMBERSHIP IN S.H.A.R.E.!

We are glad you found us; however, please know that our group is in the south area of the St. Louis region.  Most of our activities take place in the south and central counties and you may not want to travel that far.  On the other hand, you might enjoy belonging to our group because we are fun and have lots of activities that you can take advantage of.

Please take a look at this support group brochure before requesting membership, to be sure that this group is what you are looking for.

We think we are a great group and offer a variety of events. Also, it's okay to belong to more than one homeschool support group.  Meeting the individual needs of your children is a priority and sometimes that means joining many groups because they each have a little different "flavor" and offer different kinds of activities. 

MEMBERSHIP FEE:     SHARE Membership for the 2024-25 year is $25.00.  This membership will be good until May 31, 2025.  You will be sent a renewal notice the first week of June 2025.   If you join during the middle of the school year, the price is still $25, unless you ask for a pro-rated price.  (Sorry, but we don't have the manpower to keep track of every family's membership on an individual basis, so bulk renewal is so much easier.)

We rely on your generosity to enable us to meet all of our expenses.  Therefore, please feel free to  make a donation whenever you desire to do so and it will be very much appreciated and put to very good use!  (See homepage of website for online donation opportunity.) On the other hand, if finances are tough and you are having trouble paying this membership fee, please be sure to contact Cathy Mullins at [email protected]...we are often able to scholarship members.  So feel free to pay for 2 memberships if you feel led to do so!

THE MEMBERSHIP PROCESS:

Your membership request will be submitted to SHARE leadership for approval after completion of this form.  Sometimes, approval will not be granted until payment of membership dues is received, but usually we approve in a day or so.  You may pay using PayPal or by mailing a check, (also includes cash or money order). You will then be notified via email when you can log in. 

When you submit this completed form by clicking the "Continue" button at the bottom of the page, you will go to a page that asks whether you will be paying via a check or via PayPal. Then you will be directed to a page that gives information of where to send your check or how to complete the PayPal transaction.  (You need a PayPal account to pay via PayPal and will be able to use a credit card if you prefer.)  Once you receive an email saying that your membership has been activated, you will be able to login.  Don’t forget to save your username and password that you created!!!

***Before you continue, it is important that you agree with the following statements.  Requesting membership in SHARE means that you have read and agree with the following:

I realize that the majority of SHARE members are Christians but that people of all faiths are welcome in S.H.A.R.E.  If I am not a Christian, I will not be offended if meetings are started with prayer and if there are references to God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit; nor will I take offense to other Christian beliefs that may be spoken about during activities that my child might be participating in.   I understand that the leadership of SHARE and its members cannot stop being who they are; but  I also understand that SHARE leadership and members will not make their Christianity a focus of the group, but rather we will all be united by our choice to homeschool our children and give them the best possible educational experience, AND by our desire to protect homeschooling & parental rights in Missouri and elsewhere.
