VMCC is a member-based organization.  Non-members will always be welcome and will be able to attend all public events, such as puja (worship), darshan, rituals and meditation.  

Membership will provide the privilege of participation in board elections and voting on important matters. Members will also be eligible to participate in all standing committees.  The annual membership for a basic member is a nominal $25 per family. A family is considered kids under the age of 18 and their parents/guardians. Membership is non-refundable and non-transferrable.
