Membership Definition (Updated 2020)

A member is the adult and his or her spouse/registered domestic partner who originally applied for and was accepted into the WSTC. Membership dues cover children age 26 and under and parents of members as long as the children or parents reside at the family address full time year-round and are listed on their town census as full-time residents.  The club reserves the right to request confirmation of legal address to confirm eligibility.  Additional rules apply as described below.

1. All children living at home age 26 and under are welcome to use the WSTC facilities and participate in age-appropriate junior programs as part of the family’s membership. They are not considered members for the purposes of voting or participation in adult functions, although adult children age 21 and over may attend adult functions in the company of their parents.  Adult children over age 21 must be listed as residents of the parent’s home on the town census at the parents’ address to be covered by this policy.

2. Parents of members, living in the home of the WSTC member full time year-round and listed on their town census, are welcome to use the WSTC at no charge as part of the family membership.

3. Any adult child of an active member is welcome to join WSTC as a new member without waiting on the waiting list provided the active member’s membership dues/fees are current. The Membership Director must be notified in writing before December 31st prior to the upcoming season.

4. All sitters must be registered and sign statements with appropriate waivers and recognition of duties and rules. Sitters must remain with the children they are supervising at all times. A written note identifying the sitter must be on file at the front desk. There is a one-time per season registration fee of $100 per non-member sitter. Babysitters, including live-in sitters and au pairs, who are not club members, are welcome at the WSTC only when caring for the children of a member at the time. No more than 3 non-member sitters may be listed at any given time. The Club reserves the right to suspend sitter privileges for any sitter who does not adequately supervise their assigned children. For emergency purposes, members acting as sitters must notify the front desk and identify the children under their supervision.

5. All dues must be paid in full by the date designated by the Board of Directors for that year. Member names will be published in the membership directory prepared each season. Each member shares with their spouse/registered domestic partner one vote for all appropriate club member business.

Divorce

Current members:  A divorce constitutes a change in membership.  The Club takes no position on which spouse is entitled to the rights and privileges of the Club membership after a divorce or separation.  Each spouse has a one-time opportunity to create a separate, independent membership. Specifically, under this one-time option, each party will be considered independent for membership purposes and must notify the Club in writing, no later than December 31st in the year during which the divorce agreement becomes final, as to his or her intention related to continuing or terminating membership. Each party would be responsible for membership fees; however, no additional initiation fee will be required.

Wait list applicants:  In the event that applicants become divorced while on the wait list, each spouse listed on the original application is eligible to continue the application process as two separate, independent applicants. Upon notification in writing and receipt of updated application forms no later than December 31st in the year during which the divorce agreement becomes final, the Club will split the spot (i.e., 4a and 4b) to ensure the integrity of the wait. Each party will be considered independent for membership purposes and is responsible for initiation and membership fees upon acceptance.
