RESIDENT
A
RESIDENT must be at least 21. A RESIDENT is entitled to hold a membership
certificate and to vote in any club membership meeting and to hold
any elective office in the Club. RESIDENT membership also entitles
the spouse of the RESIDENT to hold Club office and to cast the RESIDENT’S
vote, both as provided in other sections in these by-laws. A RESIDENT’S
spouse is not entitled to hold a separate membership certificate,
but is entitled to hold all other RESIDENT member privileges not
specifically requiring such certificate or specifically denied by
this or other sections of these Bylaws. Upon the death of a RESIDENT
member, the surviving spouse may assume the membership with its
privileges and obligations. A RESIDENT member’s child under
21 shall have the same privileges as the RESIDENT’S spouse,
but shall not vote nor hold elective office. When any such child
shall reach age 21, all the above privileges shall cease and the
child shall have no privileges except as the guest of a Club member
as provided elsewhere in these by-laws and Club policy.
