ARTICLE FIVE: MEMBERSHIP

Membership shall consist of seven types of members:

A. Charter Members: the first 100 persons applying for regular membership into the Club;

B. Regular Members: all individuals applying for membership after the Charter Membership period has closed;

C. Associate Members: spouses and/or children residing at the same address as a Charter, Regular or Life Member in good standing. They are allowed access to functions restricted to “members,” but they do not receive the club magazine nor can they hold office. They may vote on matters which are voted upon, but they must be provided with notices and duplicate ballots by the member they are attached to, not by the club;

D. Corporate Members: Corporations are eligible to join the club and to purchase tables or any other display space at any of the club’s functions or events if they are directly involved in the gaming industry or provide ancillary products or services to or about the gaming industry. The corporation shall designate an individual representative to vote on behalf of the corporation and receive its mailings. Neither corporations nor their designated representatives are eligible to serve as an Officer or Director.

E. Life Members: members in good standing age 25 or older who apply, after completion of their third full year of membership for permanent membership status, and whose applications are accompanied by payment according to the following schedule. Life Members are relieved from paying further annual dues, but must pay any magazine mailing charges above bulk mail if the Life Member desires such mailing enhancement;

Age 25-39: then-current dues times 25

Age 40-55: then-current dues times 20

Age 55+: then-current dues times 15

;

E (i). Dues Changes Impacting Life Members: if the Board of Directors raises the organization’s annual general membership dues, thus impacting the Life Membership cost to someone who at that time has been a member for less than three years, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, grandfather in all those members who have been members for less than three (3) years, so that those members, once they have completed their third year, may become life members by paying the multiplier times the annual dues in effect when they first became a regular member. The member must pay the increased annual dues until the completion of the third year. At the completion of the third year, the member has a one- time only two month window to apply for Life Membership at the grandfathered lower rate.

F. Honorary Life Members: a member in good standing whom the Board of Directors unanimously deems to have devoted such extraordinary time, effort, dedication and work, far and above what might normally be offered by a volunteer, so that the Board of Directors wishes to honor the person by granting Honorary Life Member status, relieving the Honorary Life Member from paying further annual dues, but must pay any magazine mailing charges above bulk mail if the Honorary Life Member desires such mailing enhancement.
