Applicants must be interviewed by the membership committee, which normally meets at 7:00 PM on the 3rd Monday of the month. (It's generally possible to complete the application form and obtain the required endorsements at this meeting.) Each application is then voted on by the members at the next general meeting, usually 7:30 PM on the 1st Monday of the month (2nd Monday if the 1st is a holiday).
The current one-time initiation fee is $150. Annual dues are $100. Senior’s dues are $50.
