HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER
Definition of Membership:
A member is any resident of Japan who pays the annual membership fee and agrees to abide by the HMSC By-Laws.
Membership Types and Fee Amount:
A person can join and become a member any month of the year. A person’s membership starts the day they sign up and pay the appropriate fee. They will be added to the membership database at that time. Their fee for the first year will be prorated according to the month joined.

Donations to HMSC
The Hokkaido MSC group is strictly non-profit and all Executive Committee members are volunteering their time and energy to give support to others in need. In order to put on events we are hoping to raise enough funds through membership fees and donations to cover associated expenses. Hopefully, this will enable us to keep social activities and presentations free of charge for all members and the guest donation fee at 500-1000 yen for presentations/events.
For those who wish to make an extra donation at our presentations and other events, there will be a collection box for anonymous contributions. If you cannot attend meetings, but you would like to make a donation, please transfer the funds to the HMSC postal bank account.
Account Number: 19000 58457401
