Membership Procedures

The following information lists the activities and steps required to become a full member of the Lincoln Rifle Club. Your sponsor will provide you with complete details and answer any of your questions.

Your probationary period starts when you are introduced to the Club as a candidate for membership and you pay your fees. From that point, you can complete your probationary period in a minimum of six months or take as long as one year. At the end of one year, you must reapply. Your fees are forfeited.

During your probationary period, you will be granted the privilege of membership in the Club by paying no fee at the Dillman Range. You will also qualify to participate in any activities for Club members.

You will not be a voting member until your probationary period is successfully completed.
 

During the probationary period the applicant will:

1. In as much detail as possible, complete the Applicant’s Questionnaire. The questionnaire is located in your membership packet. Your sponsor can help you complete the questionnaire. The questionnaire will be turned into your sponsor along with all of your completed documents once your membership procedures are completed and at least six months have lapsed since your initial introduction to the Club.

2. Attend one session of the Club’s Range Rules Safety Class. This class is offered on the first Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. just prior to the Club’s monthly meeting. The classes are held at the Indoor Range in the McBean Park. Be sure to have the Instructor “sign off” on your “yellow” Certificate of Completion” and also have your attendance voucher signed by either the Instructor or your sponsor.

3. Attend one session of the LRC Safety Class. A schedule of these classes is offered on the Club’s website, or you can contact your sponsor for the schedule. Be sure to have the instructor “sign off” on your attendance voucher.

Class Schedule: Generally once per month on the 2nd Saturday of each month starting at 9am until 11am

4. During public hours at the Dillman Range, spend at least three (3) separate one-hour sessions shooting at the range with your sponsor. You may shoot the firearm of your choice. You MUST have taken the Range Rules Safety Class prior to your sessions at the Dillman Range. When you arrive at the Dillman Range, introduce yourself to the Range Safety Officer and tell them why you are there. Along with your sponsor, the Range Safety Officer will observe your safety habits. At the end of your session(s), have your sponsor “sign off” on your attendance voucher.

5. The Club recommends that you attend at least 3 monthly Club meetings during your probationary period. Attending these meetings will give you a greater understanding of the Club’s mission and introduce you to opportunities to assist the Club with project’s and functions.

Membership Cycle and Renewal

The membership cycle has changed as of the beginning of 2006. Membership is valid for twelve months from the time of joining. Membership renewals are based on when a member joined and dues were paid. Club membership will lapse at the end of the month which is 12 months after paying their dues. Renewals will be mailed out the month prior to the expiration date. Members will have a renewal notice that pro-rates their dues, and then get a second renewal during 2006 that will cover the next 12 months.

All members are encouraged to attend the monthly meetings and participate in as many club activities as possible.

About 5 times a year members will receive a copy of the club newsletter, "Kinetic Energy". The mailing label for the newsletter now shows the expiration date for the member.
