Membership

The valued members of our Association help support our efforts to preserve, promote, educate and enjoy Route 66 in Illinois. We welcome you to join us in this noble cause.

Membership in our Association places you among those dedicated folks who are willing to put some of their hard-earned dollars toward safekeeping the American treasure that is Route 66. We are a volunteer organization – proceeds from membership dues are responsibly allocated to fund projects for the upkeep and promotion of the Mother Road. We greatly appreciate each and every one of our members!

Why join the Route 66 Association of Illinois?

Association Member Doug Hutchings answers the question here:

“Supporting the things that matter is a simple answer. A children’s hospital during the holidays, a gofundme for Kentucky tornado victims and a group of dedicated preservationists. If one can… one should.”

“And furthermore when you’re on our IL stretch of the mother road, everyone’s smiling and happy. The world needs more of that right now.”

Be like Doug! Join us!
