1.  An individual who acquires a share of stock is a Stockholder of the Philadelphia Quarry Corporation only.  In order to become a member of the Philadelphia Quarry Club, he or she needs to be proposed for membership by a Stockholder Member.  If approved, the individual’s name will be placed chronologically on the Waiting List.

 

2.  The categories of membership are Stockholder Member, Stockholder Family Member, Summer Member, and Summer Family Member.  Family Members include spouse and children living in the household who are under the age of 24 on April 1st of the upcoming season (rev. 6/20/18).  Members of a family who choose not to become Family Members must follow the Guest Rules of the Quarry.

 

3.  A Summer Member who acquires a share of stock automatically becomes a Stockholder Member and his or her family becomes Stockholder Family Members.  A Stockholder Member who transfers their share of stock to a Summer Member or a non-member may switch their membership status to a Summer Member and their family to Summer Family Members.  No action is necessary by the Membership Committee in either instance.

 

4.  There are no dues for a Stockholder Member.  Stockholder Family Members are not required to join each season, but they must pay dues during the seasons when they choose to join. The exception is a child who wants to continue their membership as a  Legacy Summer Member as explained in Policy #12.

 

5.  All Summer Members, including members of their family who choose to be  Family Members, MUST pay dues annually without any lapse in membership in order to remain  members.  There is no out-of-town membership category.

 If there is a lapse in dues, even for a year, of a Family Member, that individual must reapply if they want to become a member by submitting the request in writing to the Membership Committee, Philadelphia Quarry Club, P.O.Box 17212, Richmond, VA 23226 (rev. 8/11/15).  The individual’s name is placed chronologically on the Waiting List; they do not need to be proposed again by a Stockholder Member. 

 

6.  When children reach the age of three, they must start paying dues in order to remain Stockholder or Summer Family Members. 

 

7.  When a Stockholder or Summer Member couple divorces, membership is extended to both parties.  The spouse of a Stockholder Member will be offered Summer membership.

 

8.  A fiancée of a member is not eligible for membership until the couple is married.  Upon marriage, the membership is automatic.

 

9.   Adult children, relatives, boyfriends, babysitters, roommates, nannies, etc. living in a member’s household may not be Family Members.  They may only come as guests according to the Guest Rules of the Quarry.  The exception to this policy is the dependent adult child who is truly dependent and incapable of living alone.

 

 10.    A caregiver for a dependent adult child or for a handicapped or elderly member may come as many times as necessary so long as they are acting in the capacity of a caregiver, not a guest.

 

11. If a former member of the Quarry wants to rejoin, he or she must be proposed for membership by a Stockholder Member. If approved, the individual’s name will  be placed chronologically on the Waiting List.

 

12.  Children may be Stockholder or Summer Family Members on their parents’ membership providing they are under the age of 24 on April 1st of the upcoming season (rev. 6/20/18). Older children who want to continue their membership in the Quarry are then eligible to become Summer Members automatically providing (i) they have maintained their Stockholder or Summer Family membership for the five preceding  consecutive years, (ii) there has been no lapse in membership since reaching the age of 24, and (iii) they have submitted a completed Legacy  Application for Summer Membership to the Treasurer.

 

13.  Only Stockholder Members may propose an individual for membership in the Club.  They may obtain an Application for Membership from the Quarry website.

      Three letters of recommendation are also required to accompany the Application: one letter from the Stockholder Member proposing the Applicant, and  two letters from other members of the Quarry (one of whom may be related to the Applicant

(rev. 6/20/18)).  No member, or their family, may write letters for more than two Applicants per calendar year.

    Completed Applications should be mailed to the Membership Committee. If approved, the Applicant’s name will be placed chronologically on the Waiting List.
