New members

This is the process for new members:

1. The applicant fills out a [Membership_Agreement membership agreement] and gives it to the Board Secretary.
2. The Board Secretary announces the applicant's name on the [Mailing_List mailing list].
3. The Board Secretary informs the Board of the name and email address of the applicant.
4. A Board member (currently the President) fills out a PAD (pre-authorized debit) agreement as much as possible and emails it to the potential member.
5. The applicant brings a void cheque and completed PAD agreement to a meeting.
6. A Board member (currently the Vice President) drops off this paperwork at the our bank.
7. Around the end of the two-week waiting period, a Board member (currently the Treasurer) 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.
