The
Application Procedure For New Members Has Changed
We MUST receive your
application (linked below) by January 31 if you are to be considered for
membership.
MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
KRGC is a family club that belongs to the
membership. Membership terms at KRGC are from January 1st through December
31st of the calendar year regardless of the time of year you join. There are
no discounts for part-year membership.
Annual KRGC membership dues are:
New Members $75 - Annual Renewal $50
KRGC Life Memberships are available at
twenty (20) times the current annual dues. All Life Members are entitled to
all club privileges so long as they shall live.
Persons desiring to
become members of the club need to fill out the membership application form,
available here (2011 New Member
Form) or at the clubhouse. The completed form should be mailed to the
membership secretary at the address printed on the form; forms need to be
received by the date indicated on the form or they will not be considered.
After the membership renewal drive is complete, new member applications will
be selected at random from those received until the club’s membership cap
has been reached. Those persons who were selected will be contacted. They
must attend the new member orientation session, at which time they will pay
their first year’s membership and receive their membership card and gate
card.
Persons who are not selected and wish to apply again the following year will
be given two chances in that year’s drawing. If not selected for two years
in a row they’ll be given three chances the following year, etc, so long as
a new application is sent in every year. Failure to apply for a year puts
you back to “square one”.
To Renew your KRGC membership, complete the
renewal form in the end-of-year newsletter and mail it back to the club with
your dues. If the club does not have your correct address, you will not
receive a newsletter to renew your membership. Members may also renew their
membership at the November, December, or January business meetings. Members
are encouraged to renew by mail. All members-in-good-standing who fail to
renew their membership by February 1st are delinquent and will stand
suspended. Suspended members my seek to regain their status as
members-in-good-standing by attending and completing the annual new member
orientation course and by paying new members dues.
KRGC members have the right to vote at all
membership or business meetings. One vote per membership. Members receive a
bi-monthly newsletter via mail. New members are issued the club membership
booklet, a membership card, and a gate proximity card.
The club membership card and gate proximity
card are the property of the club and are not transferable to any person(s)
other than those to which they were issued by the club. The club membership
card must be carried by club members at all times when on club property.
When asked while on club property by a club range officer or board member to
show your membership card, you must show it. For identification purposes,
also be prepared to produce a photo ID. Failure to provide the above may
result in permanent membership suspension from the club, at the discretion
of the Board of Directors. Do not lend your proximity card to others.
Range Officers are volunteers who act in the
best interest of the club and the safety of the membership. Please follow
their directions.
The children of all members of the club are
members to the age of 18. Attaining age 18, the children of club members
must apply for their own club membership at the earliest opportunity to
continue their membership status. Spouses of all cardholding members are
also members. If the spouse comes out to shoot without the cardholding
member, the spouse must have a membership card in their name (no charge for
the card). Proximity cards will NOT be issued to spouses. Only one card will
be issued per membership. If your proximity card is lost, you can replace it
at any club business meeting for a $10.00 fee. Your lost card will be
deleted from the system and deactivated.
Guest Policy
You
may bring guests other than immediate family members with you to the club
ranges, but no more than two (2) at a time. You must brief your guests on range
safety rules and be present with them at all times while on club property. To
bring more than two guests you must request and be granted Board approval. If
the same guest(s) come to the club three times in one year, he/she should become
a member. Operating the club is an expensive undertaking, Please help out and do
not take advantage of the guest policy.
Meetings
The monthly club business meeting takes
place on the 2nd Monday of the month at 7:30 PM at the clubhouse. All
members are welcome
to attend at all times. Special meetings can
be called at any time if needed. If there is a problem or a member has
questions they can call any board member.
