During the first week of the month in which your membership expires, you will receive a renewal form. After you complete and return the form with your payment, you will receive a membership card valid for the next 12 months and your current gate card will remain activated. If you do not return the form by the last day of your renewal month, your gate card will be deactivated until your renewal is received. Members have a 2 month grace period following their membership expiration date in which they can still renew but are subject to the wait list after the grace period expires and any dues increase in effect during the grace period..
