If you think you might be interested in becoming a member of the JRG, here's what you need to do: Come to a grotto meeting and check us out! Then go caving with us. Make sure you're gonna' be comfortable hanging out with our group of deranged ground dwellers! Meanwhile, we'll be checking you out... we may run a little background check to see if you've served time for a cave vandalism rap or any other crimes against caves! We just want to make sure you have as high a regard for cave conservation and cave preservation as our other members do, and that you are safe underground. If you're clean, and I don't mean your coveralls, then you will be a prime candidate for membership in our grotto.
If you still feel like joining the grotto after you get to know us, then all you have to do is tell one of the officers that you want to join. They'll get the paperwork for you to fill out, or download the Membership Application and Caver Information Sheet and bring them with you to the next meeting. (You will need a JRG member in good standing to sponsor you!) Then pay your dues and you're in! Simple, huh?
