This page reflects a policy and should be edited for content only with board approval (formatting and grammar fixes are okay).This is the process for new members:
- The applicant fills out a membership agreement and gives it to a Director at the start of a weekly meeting.
- The applicant is announced during the meeting and individual members have the opportunity (after the meeting) to talk to the applicant and get to know them/ask them questions/etc.
- The Director announces the applicant's name on the mailing list.
- The Director informs the Board of the name and email address of the applicant.
- A Director fills out a PAD (Pre-authorized debit) agreement as much as possible and emails it to the potential member.
- The applicant brings a void cheque and completed PAD agreement to a meeting.
- A Director (currently the Treasurer) drops off this paperwork at the bank.
- Around the end of the two-week waiting period, a Director gives a key to the applicant and records that they have a key.
We tried to make this as simple as possible without missing any vital steps. If the member chooses to pay with cash or cheque instead of a PAD, then instead of the void cheque they can bring cash.
We do not store your banking information at all. We give it to the bank, and they store it.
