Being an EMDSO member brings a few additional privileges:

1. Members have voting privileges and therefore a say in what the club does and how and where we do it. Decisions about club direction and projects are decided at our monthly business meetings.

2. Members in good standing may become an officer of the club and be on the board of directors.

3. As a club we own several telescopes that members in good standing may check out and use. It is a great way to learn about the different telescopes we own and help you make an informed decision on what to buy for yourself.
