GENERAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 1. Dues. The Corporation shall annually levy dues upon the owner of each share of stock in said
Corporation. Any change of dues for the coming year must be presented to the shareholders no later than the
Regular Meeting of the shareholders in April. The owner shall be solely responsible for the payment of the dues
as aforesaid. Each share of stock in the Corporation must be activated on or before May 1
st of each year by one
of the following methods:
a. If the owner wishes to release the stock then they will notify the Corporation in writing and request that
such share of stock be released. The Board of Directors will re-purchase said share of stock for a fixed
amount which shall be set by the Board of Directors; if said fixed amount shall be in excess of the amount
of dues required for that year, then said excess amount shall be delivered by mail to the owner of said stock;
b. By payment in full of the dues levied by the Board of Directors. Various optional payment methods and
schedules for dues may be offered with incentives. However, if dues are not paid by an approved optional
method, payment of dues shall be paid in accordance with the following schedule, with dates to be set by the
Board of Directors.
● Minimum amount due on date 1 of the current year for which dues are due.
● Minimum amount due on date 2 of the current year for which dues are due.
● Total dues to be paid in full on or before date 3 of the current year for which dues are due.
c. If all shares of stock are not activated by one of the methods above, the stock will simply accumulate dues
due until it can be paid in full or until the happening of Section 2, Non-Payment of Dues, below.
SECTION 2. Non-Payment of Dues. Failure to pay dues as set forth in Section 1, Dues, above shall result in a
“late fee(s)” as set forth by the directors and assessed to the shareholder. Any accumulation of unpaid dues by
December 31st of the current year will enable the retirement of the shareholder’s stock as corporate stock. The
Corporation may retire the stock by paying those unpaid dues to itself and by paying the sum of Ten Dollars
($10.00) to the shareholder of record. If the club has an active waiting list, then accumulation of unpaid dues
after June 30th of the current year will enable the retirement of the shareholder’s stock as corporate stock per
same guidelines.
It is the intent of Section 1, Dues, and Section 2, Non-Payment of Dues, to impose, fairly and uniformly, dues
on every shareholder of record, and to provide for the regular, systematic and voluntary payment of same by
every owner of record and further, to provide a method whereby those owners of stock who refuse to pay dues
in such a manner, may lose their right to decide for themselves who may use their stock for the current year.
Additionally, it is the intent to provide a method whereby shares of stock owned by parties failing to pay dues
may be retired as corporate stock so that new stock can be issued to a party willing to pay dues.
SECTION 3. Enjoyment of Facilities. For any shareholder and his or her spouse and children to enjoy the
facilities owned by the Corporation, he or she shall own at least one full share of stock in said Corporation and
be shown on the books of the Corporation as the owner thereof and shall have complied with the requirements
for the annual dues levied by the Board of Directors of the Corporation before being entitled to the use and
benefit of the facilities owned by the Corporation. However, merely owning one share of stock in said
Corporation shall not automatically entitle the holder of said stock and the spouse and family to the use of the
facilities of said Corporation. In addition to ownership, the shareholder must be in compliance with all the
regulations and annual dues provisions as well as all rules and provisions promulgated by the Board of
Directors of said Corporation in order to be entitled to the use and benefit of the facilities owned by the
Corporation.
SECTION 4. Family Use. Each person who owns at least one share of stock in said Corporation and who has
also complied with all the rules and regulations and provisions of the Board of Directors and By Laws, shall be
