Information For Members
General
The Club’s Board of Directors represents the entire membership.
In order that everyone can enjoy the facilities, the Club has specific rules and regulations controlling the use of the courts. Any person who violates the rules of conduct, does not pay dues or charges, or whose conduct is injurious to the reputation of the club or club members may be suspended for any period or expelled from the membership or from use of the courts.
In case any member of the immediate family of a Club member who is entitled to family privileges shall be deemed guilty of violating any rule of conduct, the offender’s privileges may be temporarily or permanently withdrawn.
