<li> | <li>At the beginning of each year, the Board of directors shall establish dues and fees for each class of membership for the upcoming season. These dues, along with the capital assessment fee as described in Article VII, Section 1(g) are due by March 15 of each year. A member may also pay dues in monthly installments of $200.00 each, with the first installment being due on March 1. The member who wishes to pay in monthly installments shall submit three checks payable to Fairway Farms, dated March 1, April 1 and May 1, and submit all three checks prior to March 1. The club will hold these three checks and present them to the bank for payment after the check dates. The member may either submit a fourth check dated March 15 for the capital assessment, or may add the capital assessment to the first check dated March 1. No installment payments will be accepted without the capital assessment check. Under either option, the envelope must be postmarked by the due date in order to avoid late fees. Additionally, the member may choose to pay by credit card (with fees, if applicable) through the current portal being utilized by Fairway Farms. A full payment must be made by the end of the day on March 15th or the payment plan must be entered by March 15th via the portal to avoid late fees. </li> | ||
<li> | <li>Without the approval of the membership, the Board of Directors may not increase the dues and fees for any year by more than 10% from the immediately preceding year and in any case by more than 25% in the aggregate in any 5 year period.</li> | ||
<li>Dues and fees shall be sufficient to provide for the necessary operating expenses of the Club and the proper maintenance and improvement of its property, and such dues and fees shall be payable by such date as the Board of Directors shall determine (the "Due Date"). Any member who does not submit payment as described in section 1(a) or other indebtedness shall be subject to the following penalty of such delinquent amount and the same shall become immediately due and payable: If remitted within the first and second calendar week after the due date, a 10% penalty, if remitted within the third and fourth calendar week after the due date, a 15% penalty, if remitted within the fifth and sixth calendar week after the due date, a 25% penalty. Until such time as all such fees, dues, indebtedness, and penalties are “paid in full,” the Member shall be denied use of all Club facilities for that year’s season. Under no circumstances shall a member that is not “paid in full” be admitted to the club or participate in club activities. Furthermore, if not paid by May 1, please reference Section 8 of Article VII. </li> | <li>Dues and fees shall be sufficient to provide for the necessary operating expenses of the Club and the proper maintenance and improvement of its property, and such dues and fees shall be payable by such date as the Board of Directors shall determine (the "Due Date").
