Shop Keeper- $1,000. 

Merchant- $1,500. 



All memberships include lectures and various events. 



The Business memberships include some use of the facility for an event or other similar program. 



I like Medfield’s approach to life memberships with the differing rates. HSON doesn’t have a student rate, which makes sense and I will ask to be added.

Wayland Historical Society’s membership structure is: 

Single Adult $15.00 

Family $25.00 

Contributing $50.00 

Patron $100.00 

Life $350.00 



Looks like our board should reconsider!

I will compile and share the information I get from this inquiry. I welcome all comments and suggestions. 





I've run out of Medfield Historical Society membership cards and need to reorder, but I'd first like to reassess our current dues structure and compare it with other societies. Here's what we now charge: 





$25 - Individual 


$40 - Family 


$500 - Individual life membership < 60 years 


$200 - Individual life membership > 60 years 


$10 - Senior individual (>60) 


$20 - Senior couple 


$3 - Student
