Membership Benefits

 
Membership in the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of Washington includes membership in the The General Society of Mayflower Descendants. as well as being able to attend regular membership gatherings in the State of Washington and General Mayflower Society Annual Meetings.

In addition, members of the Washington Mayflower Society receive the newsletter, "The Evergreen Log" , published three (3) times annually, and also a subscription to the "The Mayflower Quarterly" published by the General Mayflower Society, in Massachusetts

The Washington Mayflower Society holds two (2) Luncheon Meetings & one (1) Summer Picnic Meeting annually for members, spouses, junior members, guests, visitors and prospective members. All meetings are held on Sunday.

As a member of the General Mayflower Society and the Washington State Mayflower Society you can purchase Mayflower Insignia items that can be worn to meetings containing your state of membership and your ancestor's names (in some cases husband & wife), or jewelry that can be worn at any time as ring, necklace, lapel pins and charms for a bracelet. There are other items with Mayflower Insignia such as clocks, glass ornaments, silk ties and a scarf. All of these items may be purchased from General Mayflower Society but may only be purchased and worn by Mayflower members.

In addition, if you join the Washington Mayflower Society, you will be honoring the memory of those forefathers who helped set the pattern for our great democracy, and you will enter into the fellowship of people who share a common history and ancestry in the passengers of the Mayflower.

Through the programs of this Society, the common history can be made to come alive for you. And if you choose to personally participate in the Society's programs (education of school-age children, for example), you can help make that history come alive for others.

In joining the Mayflower Society, your genealogical record will be filed in a secure place, both with the Washington Society and with the General Society in Plymouth, Massachusetts. This will be an invaluable gift to your descendants to have your records on file with the Society and this will make your family heritage available to future generations and assist them in the establishing of their genealogical lines.

Another ever last benefit of membership in the Mayflower Society is the beautiful Mayflower emblem that is designed to be place on a Mayflower members grave stone. In many years in the future when your great great grandchild visits your grave, they find this Mayflower Emblem and then know that they also have Mayflower Ancestors. What a great gift to your future generations that may never know.
