a) Annual Membership Dues (see table below for the respective amounts);
b) Initiation Fee - $300, half of which is due at joining, and the other half is due the following year;
c) Annual Maintenance Fee - $100, which can be worked off by gaining eight hours of maintenance work credits. d) Coaching Fees - See Coaching page under the Rowing tab.
Some particular aspects: Prorated Fees: The annual membership fee and the maintenance fee (as well as the hours) are half the regular amount for new members joining on or after September 1st.
Work Credit: A work credit may be given at the beginning of a member's second calendar year and in subsequent years. The work credit is made against the previous year's maintenance charge and it is earned by contributing to ARC work parties, helping with Learn to Row classes, or through other Board-approved work that benefits the club (including serving on the Board). Note that eight hours are required for each family member who belongs to the ARC (e.g. if a family membership comprises two adults,16 hours are required for this family). Completed work hours must be communicated to the person identified by the Board.
Temporary Membership This category is intended for experienced rowers who are in the area for a short period of time, such as students in town for the summer; it runs for three months.
Social Membership This category is for those members who do not intend to row but who would like to participate in the club's other activities.
Coxswain's Membership Many of our crews are in dire need of coxswains - those (mostly...) kind souls who steer the boat - and if you appreciate the opportunity to boss four or even eight (mostly bigger) people around at your will, you should consider this option. Since coxes do not row, they don't pay any membership dues or initiation fees; however, they are expected to fulfill the maintenance volunteering requirements, but are exempt from the Hooch volunteering requirements.
