Article I, Section 1

A. Resident Members

1. Active Members' Privileges.

In addition to rights enumerated herein, Active members shall have full privileges and use of all facilities of the Club.
Article I, Section 4

This provision does not mean Active members are entitled to use all facilities without any restriction whatsoever. See Chapter 111.

2. Social Members' Privileges.

Social members shall have the use of only the restaurant, bar, social rooms and spectator viewing areas, and also such other facilities as may be approved by the Board of Trustees, subject to limitations imposed by the Board of Trustees.
Article I, Section 4

(a) Children of Social members are not eligible for membership in the Club and, as such, have no Club privileges.

1/23/92: Adopted preceding paragraph, Social member children.

(b) Social membership entitles the member to the use of Club social facilities, spectator viewing areas and the Pro Shop, and participation in all Club-wide social events and social programs, as well as rental of designated rooms and areas. Social members’ privileges do not include use of the tennis courts, fitness room, pool, hot tub, beach, pickleball court, boathouse, docks, gym, locker rooms or other athletic facilities. Nor do such privileges include participation in any private or group tennis or other lessons, personal training, massage therapy or other such club services of any kind. A Social member may be a guest of an Active Member for athletic use as specified in the Guest Rules.

3/22/18: Adopted social use limitations. 10/25/18: Adopted exactly the same provision, except moving the former second sentence to the end.

8/27/09: Adopted exclusion of Social members from private tennis lessons.

3. Junior and JSP Members' Privileges.

Junior members [and] JSP members ... shall be entitled to use of such Club facilities as may be prescribed by the Board of Trustees.
Article I, Section 4

(a) JSP members are entitled to full use of all Club facilities, subject to the same limitations as are applicable to Active members.

(b) Junior members are entitled to use of Club facilities: (i) on good behavior, (ii) subject to limitations elsewhere in these rules and policies (see particularly Chapter 113) and (iii) subject to limitations imposed by staff, whether in general or as to particular individuals or groups, not inconsistent with these rules and policies.

4. Derivative Nature of Junior and JSP Memberships.

Junior members and JSP members derive and, in the case of Junior members, retain their membership through parents who are Active members under Guidelines and Policies prescribed from time to time by the Board of Trustees.
Article I, Section 2

(a) Because Junior and JSP memberships are "derived" through parents' memberships, nobody may become a Junior or JSP unless, at that time, he or she has at least one parent who is an Active member (Resident or Nonresident).

(b) Because Junior memberships are "retained" only through parents' memberships, a person automatically ceases to be a Junior member when he or she no longer has any parent who is an Active member (Resident or Nonresident), which may occur as the result of resignation, transfer to Social membership, expulsion, death or otherwise.

Junior members who would have lost their memberships as a result of a parent's death have been offered Complimentary memberships, on certain conditions. Junior members whose parents have resigned have not.

(c) JSP memberships are not retained through parents' memberships, so a person who becomes a JSP will remain a JSP thereafter, even if his or her parents cease to be members.

5. Emeritus Members.

Emeritus ... members shall be entitled to full use of all Club facilities.
Article I, Section 4

More information about Emeritus memberships.

B. Nonresident Members

D. Distinction Between Joint and Single

There shall be no distinction between single and joint membership within any class except for certain guest privileges, the minimum food charge and voting powers, which are specifically set forth in Article VII herein.
Article I, Section 1

1. Guest Privileges: Single members may bring the same person as a guest more often, and have a limited exemption from guest fees. See Chapter 114.

2. Minimum Food Charge: The minimum food charge for single members is smaller than for joint members. See Chapter 110.

3. Voting Powers: In essence, a joint membership has two voters, while a single member has only one. See Chapter 213 and Chapter 270.

8/25/22: Chapter 141 approved by the Board.
