Those present voted to keep the age for joining the Club at 26 or upon marriage, whichever comes first. They also voted not to increase the membership limit at this time. Initiation fees and dues will remain at the current level for this year.
Membership Facts: Only membership applications from children and grandchildren of current members are being accepted at this time. We continue to have a tremendous backlog of applications that we must process before accepting more. Please do not turn in membership applications for friends and family who do not meet this criteria. At the current time, we cannot accept members other than sons/daughters who apply before their 26th birthday or marriage. As per our Constitution, when Constitutional limits allow addition of members, preference will be given to children of current members.
If you turn 70, 75, or 80 and have been a member for the requisite number of years before November 1, you are eligible to change your membership status. Please complete the Application to Change Membership Status which is located on the Quick Links page of the website and return it to the office ASAP. We need to change membership status before dues bills are sent.
Committees: One of the first duties of the new Board is to appoint members to serve on Standing Committees. If you would like to serve, please call the office and give them your name and your committee preference. Committees include:
Governance
Finance
Facilities
Operations/Management
House
Social Activities
Duties of each committee are located on the Quick Links page of the website under Policies/Standing Committees. We urge both Regular and Seasonal members to volunteer. We accept Seasonal members on most committees.
