Join the Waitlist 

Joining the waitlist secures your spot in line to purchase a bond directly from the club when they become available. The waitlist is also provided to current bold holders who are looking to sell their bonds on the private market. The current estimated waitlist is between one and two years. There is a $25 waitlist fee that will be applied to your bond or membership purchase when you are offered one.

The Waitlist also allows you to be notified of any provisional memberships offered by the club. These are temporary one year non-ownership memberships that do not come with voting and other rights, but allow you access to the club for one season. You do not have to purchase a provisional membership to stay on the waitlist.  If offered a provisional membership, you will be sent information via email on how to complete your purchase.

SELLERS

Current Certificate Owners in-good-standing can elect to sell their Certificate for whatever price the Buyer and Seller can agree on through the Transfer process, however, the Club’s selling price when applicable is the original price of $250.

There is a $25 Transfer Fee that must be paid by the Seller to the Club before obtaining official Transfer Forms. Contact the Member Administrator to get started. It is the Owner’s responsibility to find your own Buyer through social media, church, school and word-of-mouth. 

A physical transfer of forms and exchange of money between the Seller and Buyer will be required, at which time the Seller’s responsibilities and ownership are over, and the final paperword turned over to the Buyer to immediately submit.

BUYERS

To buy an Owner’s Certificate from a current Owner you need to find a qualified interested Seller. When you connect with a seller check with the Member Administrator to verify that your Seller is an Owner in-good-standing with a valid Certificate to sell.

The Seller should bring to the transaction an official Transfer form and Certificate application. After the exchange of money, the Buyer should take both forms and immediately turn them in to the Member Admin per instructions on the forms. Once sent to the Member Admin, immediately register on-line for your annual dues (if during the season’s period of registration) with the temporary Certificate number of 9999. The new Certificate later will be approved by the Board and assigned a new number and mailed to you.
