of the membership committee. If you are well known by a member who is willing to
sponsor you, ask that member to obtain an application from the CLUB SECRETARY. Once
sponsorship is established, both the SPONSOR AND APPLICANT are responsible for completing
the application procedure outlined below.If
you don't know anyone in the club you may contact the membership committee
