The annual membership dues cover all eligible family members. A "family" is defined as those individuals related by blood, marriage, or through legal guardianship and living in the same house. As in the past, a family membership will include a minimum of four passes. Senior stock members will receive a MAXIMUM of 4 passes. If there are more than 4 family members living in the household, the family stock membership must be paid.
All dues MUST be paid in full prior to using any of the amenities. Membership packets containing pool badges & pool rules will be available for pick-up at the pool during opening weekend or anytime after that. Packets will not be mailed.
MEMBERSHIP FAQ
Q. How will the 2021 waiting list work?
A. Returning 2020 stock members can join anytime before May 1, 2021. After that date, families on the waiting list will be offered memberships until we reach capacity. There are over 75 families on the waiting list and growing every day. Historically, 25 to 35 families leave each year for various reasons, so there is a chance that some people on the waiting list may not get in this year.
Q. I own stock and haven't been a member for a few years. I can join anytime right?
A. Unfortunately, no. Your stock membership is considered inactive and you must request to be placed on the waiting list. Note that inactive stock members are given priority over prospective new members. According to the by-laws, priority among inactive stock members is based on the period of time for which the member has been waiting to become active, so the member with the most seniority on the waiting list has first preference. After all of the inactive stock members have been offered a membership, we will welcome new members until capacity is reached. At that time, membership will be closed to everyone, including stockholders.
Q. How do I become a stock member?
A. There are two ways: 1) you can purchase stock directly from WARA or 2) you can purchase stock from a WARA stockholder. If you buy stock from WARA, there is a one-time fee of $300, which can be split over two years. If you purchase stock from a stockholder, it is considered a private transfer and WARA does not take part in the negotiations. Once the transfer is made, the old stock certificate should be sent to Keith and he will issue a new stock certificate in the buyer's name(s). There is a $50 transfer fee for this service.
Important note:
The purchaser in a private transaction assumes the stockholder status of the seller, i.e. if the seller was active in 2020, then the purchaser steps into his shoes in 2021 and bypasses the waiting list. There is still a $50 stock transfer fee.
