ASSOCIATE MEMBER – ELIGIBILITY and RESTRICTIONS:

Two years ago, the congregation created the membership classification “Associate Member” which is open only to those who spend less than 30 cumulative days a year in Century Village. The dues and maintenance allocation of Associate Membership are half that of Regular Members. Associate Members receive most of the same rights and privileges as Regular Members: they are listed in the phone book, they receive kibbudim in shul and they get the Torah Ohr discount card. Associate Members do not have voting rights in any congregational matters and do not receive the membership discount for high holiday seats. Questions regarding Associate Membership should be directed to the Chair

of the Membership Committee, Stanley Kaplan.
