3. All candidates for membership must be proposed and sponsored by members in good standing in accordance of the rules of the Club.
4. The completed application, sponsor application and two letters of recommendation are to be returned to the office. (The sponsor and one other member are responsible for writing letters of recommendation.) The office will notify the Membership Committee of receipt of the application.
5. A member of the Committee will contact the sponsor and/or applicant to invite them to meet the Committee. The sponsor must attend the membership meeting with the candidates being proposed.
6. The Membership Committee will make a recommendation to the Board on the candidates making application. The candidates may use the Club facilities in the company of a member until the next Board meeting.
