Renew Your Membership
Your membership is good for one year after you join or renew. You will receive an email message to renew and – of course – we want you to stay with us! You can renew online or through the mail-in membership application. When using our online system and paying by credit card, you can also choose automatic renewal so you never have to think about it again. You are a valued member and we hope your membership in the Democrats of Rossmoor is valuable to you as well!
Mail-in Membership Application
We offer the convenience of joining or renewing your membership for one or two people by mail. Download the membership form, complete it, and enclose cash or check. Please return the form by mail, drop it off at Gateway Complex, or return it at an in-person event. Once we receive and process your application, you will receive a welcome email.
Note: If you wish to join but don’t have an email address, you must use the downloadable membership form
Need Membership Help?
We are here to help. If you encounter any difficulty or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out and contact us. It’s often easiest to answer questions on the phone. If you are willing to be called, please include your phone number.
The membership registration or renewal form includes the following:
- Create a “user name” – we recommend using your first and last name, but anything will work.
- Enter your email address – an email address is required.
- Create a password – the system indicates whether your password is strong enough – it must be “medium” to be accepted.
- Enter your contact information (address & phone) and answer some questions.
- Have the opportunity to indicate which types of communications you wish to receive from us.

If your membership expired prior to January 2023 you will need to join the club again as a new member. If you did renew or join after January 2023 you may log in to your account.
