Voting / “Sustaining” Membership
Voting members are important for the financial sustainment and leadership of the club. Individuals, couples, or families may become voting members for a cost of $1,100 per membership. This can be paid in lump sum upon joining/converting to a voting membership or in three annual installments of $366.67.
Benefits of a voting membership include:
Reduced annual dues and fees (if you anticipate being an FSBC member for 6+ years, being a voting member is the lower-cost option)
Priority rental and 20% discounts for club use
Voting rights in Fry’s Spring Beach Club, Inc.
Board eligibility
Participation in the stewardship and historic preservation of FSBC as a city green space and community asset
Non-Voting Membership
Non-Voting Members pay a one-time initiation fee of $260/family membership, $230/dual membership, and $170/individual membership.
Membership Types
Individual: Any one adult over the age of 18.
Dual: Any two adults, or one adult and one child. These memberships are intended for couples (with no children), or a single parent and one child, in both cases living under one roof. Also includes two adults and infant(s) until the oldest child is aged 2 years.
Family: Any one or two parents (or step parents) and their children (up to age 22) living under the same roof. These memberships may include dependents. Divorced or separated individuals not living under the same roof, and with separate families or dependents, should obtain separate memberships, which may be individual, dual or family, depending on the circumstances.
How to Join the FSBC Membership Waitlist/Become a New Member
Thank you for your interest in FSBC! Please read on for our process and policies. We have reached capacity for Summer 2023 and are no longer accepting new dual/family memberships. If you are interested in a membership for 2024, we encourage you to register. We are still accepting individual memberships for 2023.
If you would like to be placed on the waitlist, you will need to register and pay $260 (family memberships), $230 (dual memberships), or $170 (individual membership) to secure a spot on the waiting list. Waitlist fees are non-refundable though they will be applied to your membership fees when you become a member. FSBC accepts and notifies new members in early May each year. If a spot becomes available for you and you are not ready to become a member, you may defer your membership and remain on the waitlist for up to one year.
Your place on the waitlist will be determined by the date and time when you register unless we do not receive payment within 10 business days. If we do not receive payment within 10 business days, your place on the waitlist will be determined by the date that we receive payment.
If you do not have the opportunity to become a member in the current year, you will remain on the waiting list for 2024 or the year that a spot becomes available.
Please note that all memberships are conditional until approved by the FSBC Board of Directors or its designee.
How to Put your FSBC Membership on Hold
If you are a current member and unable to join us for the upcoming summer, you have the option of putting your membership on hold for the year that you will be away. This will allow you to avoid paying the rejoining fee the following year ($170/individual; $230/dual; $260/family) and having to register for the waitlist before rejoining.
The cost to put a membership on hold is $130/individual; $190/dual; and $220/family membership. You may change your status and pay the hold fee by logging into your account online and changing your membership status. The deadline for putting your membership on hold for the year is May 1.
How to Move from a Non-voting to Voting membership
Thank you for considering this move. Voting members are crucial for financial sustainment and leadership of FSBC. In addition to supporting the club, voting members enjoy significantly lower annual dues. If you anticipate joining FSBC for 6+ years, it is financially wiser to join as a voting member.
In order to become a voting member you will need to pay either the $1,100 voting membership fee or the first installment of $366.67 along with your voting member annual dues by May 1, 2023.
If you opt to become a voting member mid-season, after you have already paid your non-voting member annual dues, you will need to pay the voting member fee/installment of the voting member fee immediately. You will then be eligible for a partial refund of the difference between your annual non-voting membership dues and annual voting membership dues, the amount depending on when you make the conversion.
