Every year, around the Christmas Holidays we evaluate the status
of our member renewal process along with other factors in an attempt
to determine if we will reach our membership ceiling as established
annually by our Board of Directors for the upcoming year. Some years
we accept new members and some years we don't. As a result, we do
not guarantee or imply that we will be accepting new member applications
during any given year.
We have no waiting list for perspective members who would like
to join and the new member enrollment process when it does occur
(usually in late January), is generally very brief and very popular.
Anyone interested in joining the GCF&G needs to have a couple things.
The first thing a perspective member needs is a genuine love for
the outdoors and outdoor sports. The other thing is the friendship
and respect of a current GCF&G member in good standings who is willing
to "sponsor" them as a new member on application day.
On new member application day, all perspective members in attendance
are given a copy of our club's mission statement and our ground
rules to read. A brief interview then takes place where applicants
are given the opportunity to ask questions about the club and our
ground rules. They can also let the club know at that time about
any special skills they possess which might benefit the association,
i.e. carpentry or masonry, technical and etc. Appropriate fees including
tax, are then collected and completed applications are taken.
Applications are approved at the next official meeting of the board
of directors (the first Tuesday in February). New membership packages
are usually mailed to all approved applicants within two to four
weeks and most are received by mid -March. All new members are informed
when they apply for membership, they are required to attend (2)
of the 11 monthly membership meetings (no meeting will be held in
May due to our annual fish fry), and give (8) hours of service to
the club during their first year as a member of the Greene Co. Fish
& Game Assn.
** Attendance on new member application day is mandatory, and
any member who does not meet these (2) requirements will not be
renewed for the following year.
Thank you for inquiring about the Fish & Game.
