Applications for membership will be accepted from prospective members any time of the year. Membership applications must be accompanied by full payment for the Club's annual dues (see below). A prospective member’s application must be read at two General Meetings of the Club. The prospective member MUST be present at the first reading (exceptions to this process requires Board approval). After the second reading, members will vote to approve or reject the application. However, application for Junior Membership need only be read once before it is put to a vote.
