All of the committees are eager to welcome new members into active participation. Members of the society receive a quarterly newsletter informing them of activities and opportunities for involvement. Membership dues are $10.00 per person for a 1 year membership or $150.00 for a lifetime membership. Please mail to BCHS, c/o Treasurer, PO Box 22, Vinton, Iowa 52349.
