Section 1

The Club membership is open to residents who have lived in Rockbridge County or any of its municipalities no more than five (5) years when they join. To qualify for Club membership, one must (a) reside within the boundaries of Rockbridge County or one of its municipalities; or (b) have a residence with a Rockbridge address. The latter restriction does not apply to anyone who is a member in good standing as of September 2003 and has maintained a paid membership. The length of time one may remain a member is unlimited. Having met these requirements, any person wishing to become a member is accepted upon payment of dues. Only one payment per household is required, and membership shall include spouses/partners.
Section 2
Attendance at Club functions is limited to the members. Single members of the Club may always bring one guest. Occasional additional guests are permitted, but on a space-available basis.
Section 3
The Club year runs from September through August. Membership dues are payable beginning in July and are due by the October meeting. New members joining after March 15 pay one-half the annual dues rate. Renewing members who pay prior to the September meeting are guaranteed the current dues rate. As of the October meeting date, renewing members are subject to any dues increase.
Section 4
Any member failing to pay dues by the November meeting shall be considered terminated. Such former members may be reinstated within two (2) years of the active membership upon payment of current year dues. A former member is eligible for reinstatement one time only.
Section 5
It is the responsibility of the member to update the Newsletter Chairman with personal contact information, especially a current e-mail address.
