CAPA Membership

Membership in Closet Accordion Players of America (CAPA) is open to anyone who plays the accordion or whose life has been affected by an accordion player. Co-dependent spouses are welcome, as are adult children of accordion players.

A basic membership to CAPA is $12.95 and includes:

• a membership certificate suitable for framing
• a wallet-sized membership card
• an accordion-pleated informational brochure
• a button with the CAPA logo
• a lifetime subscription to the annual CAPA Times
• easy-to-play sheet music for the "I Hate the Beer Barrel Polka" polka (because some members joke that "anything sounds better as a polka")

Please send $12.95 to the following address to begin your membership:
