2023 Membership Renewal
At present, approximately 30 members have failed to return their 2023 Renewal Form, proof of current NRA membership, and payment. Attempts are being made to contact those individuals.
Dues received with postmark dates after March 1st, but on or before March 31st, are subject to a $25.00 late fee.
Dues received with postmark dates after March 31st will be returned with a notice indicating that:
- the party’s membership has been terminated, and;
2) future membership requires submission of a membership application and payment of new member fees (cf, Bylaws Article IX, Section 2).
If personal hardship prevents timely payment of dues, contact a club officer who may arrange either for dues to be waived or for payment to be deferred.
Special Thanks to Generous Members
The Executive Board wishes to thank the many members who have made donations this year. Your generosity goes a long way to making our facility one which we can enjoy and take pride in.
Cleanup Day (Date Change)
Cleanup Day was initially scheduled for April 15, 2023. That date happens to coincide with the NRA Convention that is being held in Indianapolis this year. To avoid the conflict, the Cleanup Day date has been changed to April 29, 2023
Lock Combination Change
The lock combination change is made on Cleanup Day. Retain your 2022 Membership Card until the change is made or copy the 2022 lock combination onto your 2023 Membership Card.
