Joining CHIC is a 5-step process...

1. Print out an application form. Please don't apply if you are not a resident of Southern California.

2. Fill out and return the application to P.O. Box 17850, Long Beach, CA 90807. If you have any questions, send email to MsEspy@aol.com.

3. You will be interviewed, uncrossdressed, by a CHIC board member at a mutually agreed-upon location. If all goes well (you and the interviewer both feel comfortable), you will be extended an invitation to attend the next regularly sheduled CHIC meeting.

4. Attend your first CHIC meeting! This is a process by which you become acquainted with CHIC and we become acquainted with you. Please crossdress at this meeting. If all seems well to both yourself and the club, an invitation will be extended for you to attend a second CHIC meeting.

5. Attend a second meeting. Your application for membership will then be voted on at the next CHIC board meeting. When voted in, you'll receive official notice from CHIC of your acceptance!

Please note that a board vote against membership doesn't necessarily mean that the board didn't want you! For instance, you may work at the same company as a current CHIC member. We would ask the current member if he would have any objections to a co-worker being made a member.
