In the event members shall become divorced, they shall immediately notify the Treasurer of the corporation in writing as to which spouse shall retain membership in the Association.

In the event the member does not so notify the President of the corporation within a reasonable time, the Board of Directors may terminate the membership.

Limited Membership is defined as head of household and his or her spouse who has maintained a family membership for at least five years and who have no dependent children under the age of 18 living at home.

Lifetime privileges are conferred at the discretion of the Board of Directors to honor long-time members who have contributed greatly to the association. These privileges are awarded only to the head of the household and his or her spouse. No dues are required, and the privileges do not include voting or office-holding rights. Lifetime privileges are not transferable to any other member of their family.
