Steps to Becoming a Member of Aurora Turners

  1. Download a copy of the membership application, fill it out and have your sponsors sign it. Then bring it to the club, or come to the club and ask for an application from the bartender. It is a good idea to have at least one of your sponsors come with you to submit your application.
  2. You must pay a $20 fee when you submit your membership application. This will cover the cost of a background check
  3. When we receive the results of the background check and if there are no past issues, you will receive an acceptance letter in the US mail with instructions to pay $80 for the annual dues by a certain date.
  4. Mail the check for $80 along with the form at the bottom of the acceptance letter to Aurora Turners, 1335 Mitchell Road, Aurora, IL 60505, or bring your acceptance letter form to the club where you can pay your dues by check, cash or credit card.
  5. Once you have paid your dues, you are considered to be a full member of Aurora Turners. At that time, you may fill out an application to receive a door keycard which allows entry into the club. The keycard will be ready for you to pick up at the bar in about 2 weeks. While you are waiting for your keycard, you may ring the buzzer at the front door to be allowed entrance to the club.
