How do I join WCA or renew my membership?

Visit the Join/Renew page on the website.

How much does membership cost?

Annual dues are $118 and includes the amount for membership in the Jewish Federation of Greater Naples (JFGN).

How long is membership for?

Membership is for one year, from September 1 - August 31. If a new member joins on or after April 1, she is eligible for membership through August of the subsequent fiscal year.

Why does the dues renewal period begin before the season begins on September 1?

Renewals begin each year on July 1 for the upcoming season. WCA's budget is based solely on our portion of the membership dues, so for budgeting purposes we need to know how many members we have when the season begins. 

What if I don't renew by September 1?

Annual dues must be paid on or before August 31 each year in order to maintain membership privileges for the new season, including receipt of the weekly newsletter and the ability to register for and participate in WCA activities, including groups. Dues may be paid anytime thereafter to restore membership privileges.

I was previously a WCA member but my membership lapsed, and the website won't let me renew. Should I create a new account?

No. We might have archived your file. Our membership management system charges us for each member based on her email, so we do not want you to create a second account. Please email help@wcanaples.org for assistance. We will be happy to help you renew and to take your payment over the phone.

What if I cannot afford the dues?

If you need financial assistance to pay your dues, please contact the President(s) of JFGN.

How do I get a WCA name tag?

WCA orders name tags for new members free of charge. Once we receive your name tag, you will be notified by email to pick it up at Federation.  All name tags are at the Iser Center on a magnetic board by the BBYO lounge to the left of the reception desk. If you need a replacement name tag, email Barbara Suden to order one for $8.

How do I get a photo ID badge for the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center?

The receptionist at Federation will take your picture and issue you a badge. For security purposes, you must swipe your badge and wear it when in the building. But we also recommend wearing your WCA name tag as it is easier for others to see and read.
