MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS Request for Adult Membership Form This document contains the entrance fee for membership and monthly dues, and is the document a member would complete to start the process. The applicant may complete the majority of the information as long as the proposer and the seconder provide their member numbers on the second page. Please note that once we have the application in, we will contact the proposer or seconder with the interview schedule. The proposer or seconder must attend an interview with the prospective member, which will take place at the clubhouse with two of the Executive Committee members. The process takes approximately 1.5 months depending on the interview date. Prospective members who have a spouse and would like their spouse to have privileges at the club should join as a Joint member with their spouse. In that case, the spouse is asked to attend the interview as well. Prospective members who do not yet know any members of the Club are invited to contact Membership at membership@royalvan.com to discuss introductions.
