Purchase Annual Membership for 2025

Dear Patrons,

GASD Membership has many benefits - participation in members-only events, free-to-members events, discounted tickets, and the satisfaction of belonging to the community.

Key highlights include:

Food exclusion – GASD will not serve food at any event, however, members present at the event will be given a $5 coupon that can be used towards food purchase from the vendors at Kite-flying and Holi events.
Limited free-entry events – Kite-Festival (Uttarayan), Holi, and Picnic / Medo remain free-entry events for 2025. Members will be required to purchase discounted tickets for all other events such as Garba, Diwali Banquet, and any additional events that require tickets.

Membership benefits include:

Free entry to Kite-Festival (Uttarayan) and Holi
Food discount coupon at select events (For age 6 and older only)
Below cost, deeply discounted entry to Garba and Diwali Banquet
Discounted entry to other events
Priority over non-members at select events
Savings of over $160 compared to non-member prices for families
Feeling of inclusion in the Gujarati community, priceless!

Three tiers of membership are available that provide flexibility for your family and help maximize the benefit to you and the community. None of the memberships include food at the events. Food may be available for purchase at the venue. Membership includes free entry to Kite-Festival (Uttarayan) and Holi events only. All other events, including, but not limited to, Garba and Diwali Banquet, will require a discounted member ticket.

1. Family Membership - For $100, this tier provides membership benefits to you, your spouse, and any unmarried children under the age of 21 years living in the same household. This tier also allows you the option to add one or more parents living with you to the Family Membership for a nominal $15 per parent.

2. Couples Membership - An adult and their spouse can obtain member benefits at a lower cost of $65. Kids aged 5 (five) years and under are included in this tier. This tier allows you the option to add one or more parents living with you to the membership for a nominal $15 per parent.

3. Single Membership - A single adult can obtain member benefits at even lower cost of $55. Kids aged 5 years and under are included in this tier. This tier allows you the option to add one or more parents living with you to the membership for a nominal $15 per parent (Max 2 parents).

Streamlining membership through this change allows GASD to serve our community better. GASD strives to improve the services it provides to the community and looks forward to your continued patronage.
