Members of the membership committee will meet with them during their stay and decide upon their application after this interview. If accepted, the $50.00 fee will be applied towards their first year membership fees.

V. CREDITS AND ASSESSMENTS

Credit incentives are earned by recruiting new memberships, and are applied to the following year's dues:

· Recruiting a new family membership earns a $50.00 credit for the sponsor.
· Recruiting a new adult membership earns a $25.00 credit for the sponsor.

An assessment fee will be charged to each membership that does not attend one full (6 hour) work party in the preceding year. The fee will be $400 per family membership and $200 per adult membership. The club has approved this fee in order to encourage participation from all its members, as well as set aside sufficient funds to pay for labor if members do not participate.

NOTE: Supportive Membership is excluded from this assessment.

VI. GENERAL
The membership year is September 1st through August 30th. For new members joining midseason the first year membership will be paid for a full year, and the second will be pro-rated to September 1st.
