MEMBERSHIP KEEPS GROWING!
NJMA must be doing something right! By the end of 2020, the NJMA club had over 600 paying members. This is a 50% growth since this 50+ year old club broke the 400 member level in 2012. Membership now includes domestic members outside the NJ-Philadelphia area and even members from other countries. The club remains 100% run by unpaid volunteers.
