We are always excited to engage new members! Joining our club is a simple process.
Prospective members are invited to attend one regular meeting as a guest prior to deciding to join. The Holly Club monthly schedule offers both lunch and dinner meeting options. These occur September through November, with a special holiday party in December, and then regular meetings January through May.
At her second meeting, the new member’s letter of introduction is read and she is welcomed into the club. The letter must be signed by three members as sponsors. Membership requirements are as follows:
- Payment of annual dues of $50 after March 1st or by the Lawn Party (our summer fundraiser, held in early to mid-June.)
- Participation in club activities and attend at least three of the meetings in the first year of membership.
- Serve as a co-hostess or hostess for the monthly meetings in the annual year. Members who do not fulfill this role must make a $50 contribution to the Lawn Party.
- Support the major fundraisers by 1) purchasing a $50 ticket to the Lawn Party and providing a silent auction donation of a $35 value, and 2) by attending the Holly Club Ball (our winter fundraiser) or, if unable to attend, contributing the ticket price of $175.
