Application: Please complete the entire application (including zip codes and an email address) to ensure prompt processing. Our waiting list is currently 12-18 months from the time we receive your application. Memberships are assigned in the order that they are received, so the sooner your application is received, the sooner you will be considered for membership. We continually offer memberships as we receive resignations, and maintain the list from year to year, so you only need to submit one application. DOWNLOAD THE NEW MEMBER APPLICATION HERE

Membership costs: The cost for you and your family members listed on your application to become and remain Full members is payment of a one-time equity payment of $925, as well as each year's annual dues ($500 for 2008). While the total first year cost is $1,425, in future years you will pay only the annual dues. When you resign, your equity payments returned on a pro-rated basis (the Club keeps 5% per year, not to exceed 50%). There is a $25 late fee applied to payments made after May 1st.
-
Waiting List: The Club maintains ONE waiting list for membership, in TWO parts: a waiting list for all who have applied for membership and a list of the 30 Seasonal Members at the top of the list who are waiting to become Full Members. Seasonal Memberships (temporary steppingstone to Full Membership) pay 1/2 of the equity payment ($465) plus the annual dues. Seasonal members who are current in their dues maintain their position until a Full Membership opens up. Seasonal members are required to upgrade to Full Membership by paying the remainder of their equity payment ($460) as soon as it is offered, or risk termination of Membership and a $100 deduction from their equity reimbursement. Any remaining equity due will be refunded only upon the Club's resale of your membership.
Please Note: We will allow you to pay for your dues as a Seasonal Member with a credit card only after your membership has been approved. We will email you a link to pay via PayPal upon approval.

Seasonal Membership vs. Full Membership: What is the difference?
Seasonal Membership: An initial/provisional/steppingstone membership which is essentially a waiting list position with privileges. There are 30 Seasonal Memberships for the top 30 positions on our waiting list. Seasonal members pay 1/2 of the equity payment & the entire dues amount, and may not bring guests on weekends or holidays, nor vote in the elections, nor sponsor new members. When a Full Membership is offered, a Seasonal MUST convert within two weeks by paying the remaining 1/2 of their equity payment. If they do not do so, their membership will be terminated, and $100 will be deducted from any equity refund due to them.
Full Membership: Members pay the remaining half of their equity, and their entire dues amount and affirms that they will remain members in good standing by remaining current on their dues payments for the future. Full Members may bring guests on weekdays, weekends and holidays by paying the appropriate guest fee, should vote in the elections, and may sponsor new members.
Senior members are eligible for a $25 fee reduction for annual dues paid by the deadline for dues payments. Seniors are members who have reached age 65, or who will reach age 65 prior to closing day of a given season. Resignations can only be accepted by mail and must include the member's signature (email isn't adequate) and the address where the equity refund should be mailed.
Resignations should be sent to the Membership Chair at the pool address above. Members will receive their remaining equity by check after their membership is resold, which sometimes takes a few months. Also, to avoid having their equity reduced by an additional 5%, members should submit their resignation before June 1 in any given year. -
Guest and Nanny Fees: There is a charge for all guests of both Full and Seasonal Members plus a total limit of 20 guests allowed per year. Additionally, there is a fee of $200 per year for au pairs, nannies, and babysitters. Form to download will be available soon.
