Membership generally includes up to 75 memberships held by individuals who are 30 years of age or older. Members make a one-time stock purchase and pay annual membership dues. The club also allows for up to 6 memberships to be held by individuals between the ages of 21 and 30 years of age for a maximum period of 3 years. Members between 21 and 30 years of age are not required to make a one-time stock purchase and are afforded reduced annual dues.
