Becoming
an Associate/Member
of Stony Ridge Observatory, Inc.
Latest Update: Jan 7, 2013
To become an Associate Member of Stony Ridge Observatory,
Inc., send an email message to: membership@stony-ridge.org and request an application form.
Upon
acceptance of your returned application by the Board of Directors, you
will be invited to become an Associate Member of Stony Ridge
Observatory for a period of not longer than two (2) years.
During
this period, if you desire to use the site and equipment without
supervision, you must successfully complete a qualification
period on the use and safety of the equipment
and site. This usually takes 4 or 5 on-site training sessions
afterwhich you will be given full access to the observatory
and telescope. Time on the telescope is subscribed on a first-come,
first-served basis. In the event of scheduling conflicts, Members
are given priority over Associates, and is negotiable between
the parties involved.
-
During
your Associate 2-year period, your annual dues will be $250,
payable in lump, or in 11 monthly installments of $20 each,
plus a final payment of $30, all payable to the Treasurer.
At
any time during your Associate status, you may petition the
Board of Directors for full membership (life-time membership).
-
Full,
life-time, membership cost is $3000, minus any amount paid
during your Associate membership. This sum may be paid in
full at the end of Associate status, or in 3 yearly, equal
amounts.
- Though
not required, payment of an annual dues of $150 will allow the
Member voting rights and the opportunity to be elected as an
Officer or member of the Board.
