A. All members are responsible to keep their dues current, to pay in a timely manner all fees, fines or any other charges assessed to them.
Each year, at renewal time, the Club will mail your membership renewal form. This is a bill for payment, not a piece of scrap paper to be discarded. Read it and follow the instructions.
The renewal form, with all the requested information completed, shall be returned with your payment of dues and other fines and fees assessed to you. Additionally, you must send proof of current membership in the National Rifle Association, such as a Xerox copy of your NRA card or the label from your last NRA magazine, which shows your NRA expiration date.
Your membership renewal will not be processed unless you have fulfilled all the requirements. If you lose your renewal form, a duplicate will be offered for a Five Dollar ($5.00) charge.
Members whose dues are in arrears (not paid within the allotted time), which is after the close of the December general meeting, are required to file a new application for membership. This means they must pay the new member initiation fee, the current dues, and any debt owed the Club, such as a workday fine.
The process of renewing your membership can be painless, if you read and follow the instructions on the renewal form and act in a timely manner. If you find an error in your renewal form contact the Vice-President as soon as possible to have a corrected form furnished. Do not revise the renewal form yourself or send a partial payment.

A copy of the By-laws may be borrowed by any regular member upon request. This article is intended to give a new member a simplified sampling of the By-laws that are necessary to get started in club activities. It is not mandatory that a member read the By-laws, however this will not excuse the disobedience of such rules and regulations spelled out in the By-laws.
D. All members are required to do one workday for the club each year. Those exempted are disabled members and members who are at least sixty years old. Official work days will be announced in the club newsletter and other opportunities may be available. Failure to do a workday will result in a fine at renewal time. The fine beginning in 1998 will be Thirty Dollars ($30.00).
