Become A Member

Welcome to CCGMS Membership

You can try before you join!

You are invited to come to your first meeting as a visitor. Just raise your hand when the president asks for visitors and introduce yourself.

AND PLEASE REMEMBER

Despite our Club name, there is no requirement to be a resident of Cobb County to join and enjoy the many benefits we offer. Regardless of where you live, we welcome you!

Only one family membership fee is paid annually which entitles the entire family to membership privileges. A family membership household is defined as the primary member, their spouse or significant other, and their legal dependents.

Testimonials

"If you enjoy rocks and gems and would like opportunities to gain knowledge, rockhound with new friends, and/or grow as an artist in lapidary arts and jewelry, CCGMS is the place to be. It is an amazing club with wonderful people."

Carrie Wolovlek

"I think one of my favorite parts of the CCGMS field trips is the helpfulness and comradery among participants that is created by our Trip Leader and our other Team Members that are present on the trip. The Team Members go out of their way to help participants find great items to collect and many of them can advise participants on which rocks or fossils will be able to be turned into beautiful jewelry. I’m really proud of our Field Trip Team and if you haven’t attended a trip, plan to do so because you will have a great time and you’ll collect some great specimens. An amazing club with wonderful people."

Toby Stewart
