Gold Card Club

Adults 62 years and older who reside within District 214 boundaries are eligible for a free District 214 Community Education Gold Card Club membership.

Gold Card Club members are entitled to register for most Community Education classes at a 15% discount. They can also attend many school athletic events as well as musical and dramatic performances at District high schools free of charge.

A Gold Card newsletter is typically sent to members 3 times per year in the fall, winter, and spring. The newsletter includes the high school performances that are free as well as additional programs available to members.

You can apply for Gold Card Club membership in person at the Community Education office in the Forest View Educational Center or online by submitting an electronic form. Those who submit the form electronically will have their card mailed to them within seven business days.
