The Burgh Bears, a social group for bears and their admirers, does not discriminate or limit membership in any way other than age (you must be 21 or older to join). Annual dues are $20 for an individual membership, and $10 more per member per household ($30 per couple, $40 if you have three members living at one address, and so on ...) You do not have to be a member to participate in Burgh Bears activities, especially if you are new to the group. However, we would ask that you become a member in time and as you feel more comfortable with the group. Membership helps the club grow, function and provide diverse activites. If you are interested in becoming a member, click here to contact our club's secretary. We accept cash as well as check/money order (payable to "Burgh Bears"). You can pay your yearly dues and fill out a membership application in person at any club function, or you can mail the application and dues to:
Burgh Bears P.O. Box 6426 Pittsburgh, PA 15212-0426
You can find links below to both the membership form and our By-laws. By signing the application you are agreeing that you are 21 years of age and that you will abide by our bylaws.
