Two members of the same household may pay for their membership dues as a couple. The total cost is $40 for both members which means each person saves $5 on their initial application and/or yearly renewal. This is strictly a financial incentive to encourage more family members to join the club. Each member will be considered a Regular Member and must be at least 18 years of age. If the initial application to join the club is paid for as a couples membership, each applicant must fill out a separate application form.
