The club has over 4,600 members, of which the majority of members, approximately 3,200 of you, all send in the yearly renewal between Thanksgiving and Valantine’s Day each year (a 76-day period).
Memberships are all processed by one Volunteer, the membership secretary, please understand this is a single volunteer and that it takes on average approximately 3-5 weeks to process a renewal application, during the height of the renewal cycle. Please also remember that this single volunteer, who like many of you, also has a fulltime job and is not at the club on a daily basis, so stopping by the club to renew is not the quickest or simplest option. Anyone stopping by the club we will asked to fill out an application for renewal and drop it in the Membership Secretary mailbox at the club with payment.
