Membership

---

So, you want to become a member of the Onondaga Ski Club. Who wouldn't, considering all that we do! Here are the requirements according to our March 26, 2009 By-laws:

Requirements

Article I,

Eligibility; Membership shall be open to individuals who are skiers or who are interested in the purposes and projects of the Club.

Types of Membership; Every member shall be in one of the following categories-

1. Adult membership shall be held by a person who has reached eighteen (18) years of age.
2. Junior membership shall be held by a person who has reached thirteen (13) years of age, but has not reached eighteen (18) years of age. A junior member joining the Onondaga Ski Club must be sponsored by a parent, grandparent or legal guardian who is a Club member.
3. An Associate Member shall be a member in good standing of an Affiliated Club. An Affiliated Club is an organization with interests and goals that are compatible with those of the Onondaga Ski Club and shall be afforded that status by the Board of Directors upon a reciprocal relationship being approved by the governing bodies of both clubs. The dues for an Associate Member shall be established by the governing bodies and approved by their memberships. An Associate Member shall be afforded all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of membership in the OSC.

Article II,

Due Date; The annual dues for membership shall be payable by October 15 of each year. Any member whose annual dues are not paid by October 15 shall be dropped automatically from the membership roll.

Amounts; The annual dues will be set by the general membership and approval by a majority vote of the members present.
Notice for annual dues for the following year shall be published in the September issue of the Schuss Boomer. Presently, dues are as follows:

Adult membership   $20.00
Junior membership   $10.00
Associate membership   $30.00   (Membership dues for one year in both OSC and Ski Hawks)

Non-Proration of Dues; The annual dues for any new member, or for any former member dropped from the membership roll for nonpayment of dues, shall not be reduced in consideration of the date he or she becomes a member.

Initiation Fee; There shall be an initiation fee for each new adult member in the amount of $5.00. A one year grace period shall be extended to former members who have allowed their membership to lapse.

Application Process

Well, that's it. Pretty simple. You don't have to attend "x" number of meetings, or go to our lodge and be part of a work weekend, or even be sponsored by someone unless you're between the ages of 13 and 18. All you have to do now is fill out a membership application. Please fill it out completely including Summer Interests. Print out a copy and snail mail it back to the address listed along with a check made out to the Onondaga Ski Club for the proper amount. Or you can just bring it to one of the Onondaga Ski Club Monthly Meetings , held monthly from September 'til April.
