The Glenn Miller Birthplace Society is a non-profit organization founded to promote the music and memory of Alton Glenn Miller, America's favorite musical patriot.   From a small beginning in 1976, the Society has grown to approximately 1700 members in 49 states and 27 foreign countries.  In 1993, the Society established its first branch in Tokyo, Japan, where there is great interest and respect for Miller and his music.

A member receives the Society's newsletter, Miller Notes, four times a year and free advertising in the Collector's Corner.  The popular newsletter includes information about activities from around the world which touch upon Miller's music, career and his civilian and military bands.  Members also receive a festival button, a membership card, and access to Glenn Miller Festival tickets before they are released to the general public. For many members, the good fellowship with other interesting Miller fans is reason enough to be a part of the Society.

A regular membership is $25 ($30 outside the USA).  To include a spouse, add an additional $5 to provide for a second membership card and festival button.  Donations to the Society's Scholarship Fund may be made by joining as a Bronze - $35, Silver - $55, Gold - $105 or Platinum - $1000 member. All funds in excess of the regular membership fee are used to fund the annual music scholarship competition for high school seniors and college freshmen.  To become a member, send a check and your name and address to:
