How Does the Waiting List and Membership Renewal Work?

Anyone wanting to join the pool will fill out an application and submit a $25 application fee.  This fee is nonrefundable, but will be applied to your first year dues.  There is an initiation fee that will be added to the first year membership dues.  After that, members just pay the annual membership dues.  In March, current members and Leave of Absence members will be invoiced to continue their membership.  Members have until April 1st to pay for the current season to guarantee continued membership in good standing.  Sometime after April 1st, people on the waiting list are contacted to allow them to join the pool.  New members and returning members will be allowed in until the Eno membership cap has been reached.  At this point, any new applicants will be added to the waiting list for the next season.  Members who did not pay before the cap was reached, or have decided that they cannot make use of their pool membership this year will be added to the Leave of Absence. LOA means that the household is considered an inactive member and cannot use club facilities (except as a guest), but will not have to pay the initiation fee to rejoin the next year.  A member can be on LOA for two years before being dropped from the membership roster.  If a member is on LOA1 or LOA2, then they will receive the option to join in March with a guaranteed admission.  Once the LOA has expired, any returning member will need to complete the new member applicant process again.
