Membership Types
Individual Membership (Equity Owner)
Individual members own a share in the club assets (known as equity). Members are expected to do their share of the work; e.g. assembling the gliders at the beginning of the season, disassembling them at the end of the season, maintaining the hangar area, and acting as a Field Operations Officer a few times each year. These duties are light and no members are expected to do it all.

Family Membership (Equity Owner)
Family memberships include one adult and one child under 23 years of age, or a married couple may share a club membership. Family members have all the same privileges and responsibilities of an Individual Membership, except that they get only a single vote between them. An additional $50 per year (annual dues) is the only cost associated with the family membership.

Youth Membership (Non-Equity Owner)
Youth membership is a non-equity membership designed to provide a cost effective method for youth to pursue interests in soaring and aviation. Youth members are still required to pay annual dues currently set at $100. The applicant must be 22 years of age or less, the minimum age being 14, and those under 18 must have written parental or guardian permission. Youth members do not have voting privileges and there is no equity share buy-in or equity payout upon resignation.


Equity Level Options and Annual Dues
A number of equity levels and financial options have been created to provide flexibility to prospective members based on their financial situations. Prospective Individual or Family members can join at any one of three options; Full share, 2/3 share and 1/3 share. All equity owning membership levels have equal flying and voting privileges in the club. Share equity values are evaluated annually and adjusted if necessary.

    1/3 Share:
    Equity: $600 (one time investment)
    Annual Dues: $550/year
    * Resignation Refund: 25% of current 1/3 share

    2/3 Share:
    Equity: $1,200 (one time investment)
    Annual Dues: $475/year
    * Resignation Refund: 62.5% of current 2/3 share

    Full share:
    Equity: $1,800 (one time investment)
    Annual Dues: $400/year
    * Resignation Refund: 75% of current full-share

    * Resignation Refund: Members who choose to resign will be refunded a portion of their equity based on their share level at the time of their resignation.
 

Inactive Membership:

For members that would like to retain their membership share but relinquish flight privileges, an annual due of $100 is available.

The annual dues, along with flight charges, cover comprehensive insurance of club equipment, hangar rental, annuals, licenses and maintenance, membership in the Soaring Society of America and "Soaring" magazine for each member, club newsletters, promotional fliers, club handbooks, and equity growth. Annual dues are paid before the start of the soaring season. New club members joining midseason paid annual dues proportional to the time remaining in the soaring season. The season is considered eight months long and runs from April 1st to November 30.
