Membership Application Process
Thank you for your interest in Orange Lawn Tennis Club. The following is a summary of our membership application process:
1. Membership inquiries are forwarded to our Membership Committee. A member of the committee will respond to inquiries.
2. Upon request, the Membership Committee will send a membership application to the sponsor and/or applicant.
3. All candidates for membership must be proposed and seconded in writing by two Resident Members in good standing for at least eighteen months. No candidate for membership shall be proposed or seconded by a Governor or a member of the Membership Committee.
4. The completed application and two letters of recommendation are to be returned to the office. The sponsor is also responsible for writing a letter of recommendation. The office will notify the Membership Committee of receipt of the application.
5. A member of the Committee will contact the sponsor and/or applicant to invite them to meet the Committee.
6. The Membership Committee will make a recommendation to the Board on the candidates making application. The candidates may use the Club facilities in the company of a member until the next Board meeting.
7. Admission to membership in the Club shall be by action of the Board of Governors in open vote at a regularly called meeting. After the meeting, a rejected candidate may not be voted on again until six months have elapsed.
8. Upon Board approval and the lapse of a minimum 25-day posting period, a prospective member is eligible to join the Club. The Membership Committee appoints a mentor who will meet the candidates to review their financial obligations and explain the rules and regulations of the Club. After Board approval, the candidates must first meet with their mentor to review and finalize their financial obligations prior to using the Club facilities.
