The following rules and regulations are presented for the guidance of the membership. They are not intended to be a complete list, and are subject to modification by the Board of Directors.

Any member who has not paid his annual dues and late fees by April 30th will be subject to suspension of membership privileges.
Membership
No memberships will be accepted for sale from March 1 to September 1, 2008. After the membership is purchased and the initiation fee paid, all members of the family including husband, wife, children and dependent parents domiciled in the household on a year-round basis are eligible for use of the Club facilities, so long as the annual dues and any additional fees or assessments are paid.
Persons buying memberships will be selected according to the order in which their application for membership was received, except that the first preference will go to persons buying homes of previous members. The new member must pay all fees within 14 days, and the Club will pay the outgoing member within 30 days after the membership is sold.
A special annual membership may be purchased for other persons living in the household, e.g., live-in help, exchange students, etc. The rate will be $100.00 each with a maximum of two per family. A non-live-in mother's helper may also have an annual pass for $100.00; however he or she may use the pass only when acting in the capacity of mother's helper.

Inactive Membership
A member may retain his/her membership in an inactive status by paying $400 (including sales tax) by March 1st in lieu of the annual dues. The inactive member may NOT use any of the Club facilities during the summer season.
The membership reverts to active status the following year upon payment of annual dues. INACTIVE MEMBERSHIPS WILL BE LIMITED AND AVAILABLE ONLY IF THE MEMBERSHIP CAN BE RENTED. NO MEMBERS WILL BE ALLOWED TO MAINTAIN INACTIVE STATUS FOR MORE THAN TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS. NO INACTIVE MEMBERSHIPS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER MARCH 1.
Membership Rental
The Board of Directors has authorized rentals of all approved inactive memberships at the rate of $1,750.00 including tax. All renters will have full use of the Club facilities during the summer season. They will be selected from the regular waiting list for club membership. It is the intention of the Club that renters who wish to continue to use the Club will become members. Accordingly, renters may only rent for one summer season. Following the summer season, renters will once again be eligible to become members as memberships become available for purchase, but will not be permitted to rent inactive memberships. The Board will also continue to permit rentals to those persons renting the home of a member in good standing for all or part of the summer season.

This is required by our Insurance Company. A nominal guest fee or guest card punch is required. It is the responsibility of each member to make certain that his/her guest is registered and paid for.
