We need your membership cards for our records. Thank you.
It is not absolutely necessary to return your old gate key, however old gate keys in good condition can be re-keyed. It would be appreciated if you would deposit your old keys in the mailbox in front of the Club House. This action will help save the Club money. Thank you.
Please do not submit any prospective new member applications
until after January 1st, as they will have to be returned
to the applicant if they are received before January 1st.
