Associate Member Expectations
Associate standing lasts for two years. During this period, the associate must attend at least six monthly meetings per year. The associate must also complete a minimum of 30 work hours during the course of the year. In addition, associates coordinate with the House Chairperson and are expected to assist with house cleaning/maintenance during the 2 years. After two years if the associate has completed these requirements and is in good standing he or she can apply to be a regular member.
Associate Membership forms can be found by clicking the link below:
Membership Status
All associates are entered as A status members and will maintain this if they meet their work hour requirements.
All regular members who complete work hour requirements will be A status members.
Those regular members who do not meet work hour requirements will be B status members.
Friends of the River
If you don’t have a boat, or If becoming an associate member is too complicated and time consuming for you, consider becoming a Friend of the River. For a small annual fee, you have access to the club house and picnic area. You can come down whenever you like with up to three friends and hang out right next to the water. If you like, you can cook a nice dinner on our gas grill as you enjoy a terrific view of the Palisades.
