Membership System has been designed to keep all membership data secure, easily accessible to members for update,
and provide a consistent database for the Board members for correct communication. To meet these needs we have
a web-based interface for entering your membership data. Once your data is entered, you will be given a Membership
Id and a password instantly. By using this information, members can update their personal records as
and when needed through a web browser.
Existing members can now renew membership for 2008-2009 using our online form and a credit card. If you are new to the Bay Area you may want to become a new member through our easy interface.
Bay Area Prabasi invites you to become a member for the financial year 2008-2009. The membership system is Credit-card enabled. Existing members can now retrieve their membership record, and submit it for renewal using their credit-card through Paypal .

Membership Benefits
To understand the important benefits of being a member, please see the section on why become a Prabasi member?
Becoming a Member
To become a new member you may either use the electronic membership form (the preferred way) or fill out a printed membership form and mail your check along with the form at the address printed below the form.
Important Clarification: Prabasi does not have a pro-rated membership system. Our membership is for one year and starts on July 1st and ends on June 30th of the following year. Membership renewal usually begins before Durga Puja. There is no pro-rated membership. So becoming a member at the beginning of our fiscal year is always good for the member and helps the Board to prepare Prabasi's yearly budget.
Problems with the membership system, may be reported directly to the Webmaster.
