HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER:

We are excited that you pressed on this tab, "Becoming a Member." If you work in the Forest Products Industry or support that industry, we would like to invite you to discover how to become a member of one of the oldest service fraternities in the United States, Hoo-Hoo International. This organization was built on a solid foundation of goodwill and fellowship to all who work in or support this industry. Eligibility Requirements can be found on page 6 of the HHI By-Laws, Article 2, Section 1.

You may have a few questions...let us help!

• If you made it this far, you have probably already been in contact with a Hoo-Hoo member and have a local club in mind to join. That's the first step! If you have not, email us at [email protected] with your location and someone will get back with you about a local club nearest you.
• The officers of the local club you wish to join will want to meet you and possibly invite you to a meeting or an event where you can meet other members. 
• They should give you an application to fill out. You will need 2 sponsors from the local club that are in good standing, meaning they are actively paying dues.
• Once you return your application to a club officer, the local club will review your application and determine eligibility. If approved, they will plan a time and place for your concatenation. If they have other potential members, it will be planned as a group concatenation.
• Once you have been concatenated make sure a few things are done. 1) You must pay the required dues to the club, 2) sign your application at the bottom with a witness signature and the date, and 3) a club officer needs to fill out the concatenation information of the back of your application. Then the club will cut a check for HHI dues and send to HHI headquarters in Gurdon, AR.
• You will receive your Kitten Kit soon after your application and payment are received and processed. In your Kitten Kit you will find your official, one-of-a-kind HHI lapel pin with your member number engraved on the back. This is your number and your number only, for life! Wear it proudly to all HHI events and meetings. You will also receive a certificate, letters from the Snark and Executive Secretary, your member ID card to keep in your wallet if you wish, and few other fun items. 

Please contact the Hoo-Hoo International Office by phone at 870-353-4997 or by email [email protected] to speak with Natalie Leamons, HHI Executive Secretary, if you have any questions.
