Doper poll: Of what organizations are you a member?

My church, the local public radio station, CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) and…Rotary!

I always thought of Rotary as the haven of stodgy old businessmen, but I was approached to join, went to a couple of meetings, and joined. I’m female, in my 40s, work in higher ed, and the first time anyone refers to me as stodgy, I’ll commit suicide.

In no particular order:

American Historical Association
Phi Kappa Phi
Phi Alpha Theta
Episcopal Church
The Reel Top 40 Radio Repository

In addition, I am a member of the board of editors of my college’s history journal.

Society For Creative Anachronism
National Botanical Society
Geological Society
National Geographic Society
Cape League Of Adventurers & Wargamers

At first, I was inclined to say none, but I guess AAA counts - but is it an organization, or just a business that provides various services for a yearly fee?

My wife is a teacher, and is involved in a veritable alphabet soup of orgs.

I’m a member of WATCH (and was once even an officer), which is an organization for former participants of Quiz Champion (an English quiz show for Korean high school students). Sadly the quiz show is no longer running and the organization has basically fallen apart, but back in the day we did a lot of random stuff (volunteer translating, planting trees on Arbor Day, holding college fairs for high school students, book clubs, etc).

I suppose I’m a member of the Korea University alum here at UChicago, although organization is too grand a term for our humble gathering.

The NDP-QSLGBT&TAAC? Just rolls of the tongue, that does.

That should, of course, be "rolls off the tongue, but “rolls of the tongue” might likely be the result when trying to spit it out. I hope you don’t have to answer the phone there. :smiley:

The only organization that I am a part of is the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS). Other than that I got nothing.

And the SDMB - don’t forget that!

Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Fairly active (former treasurer and now on their membership committee).

Albacon Committee (runs a years SF con in Albany, NY).

World Fantasy Con 2007 Committee

National Rifle Associaton
B.A.S.S.
Illinois State Rifle Association
SDMB
National Notary Association
Natural Resources Defense Council
American Rights At Work

And I have a library card, does that count for anything? :wink:

I used to be in the VFW Ladies Aux. and Am. Legion Auxiliary but I let those lapse. The ex was a psycho. Long story.

Am involved with some local charities.

My kid’s a Police Explorer with a close by department.

I have a Dominick’s AND a Jewel card. :wink:

We just say “the NDP-Quebec LGBTT Commission” for short, but I keep threatening to have a fundraising dinner called the NDP-QC LGBTT BBQ.

The American Taekwondo Association.

The Houston Geocaching Society.

Does the SDMB count as an organization?
