There are currently three types of membership within the Hegins Valley Police and Schutzhund Club:

• Active Member
• New Member
• Junior Member

The Active Members are entitled to vote, hold office, and benefit from all of the advantages of the Club. Membership is limited to 20 Active Members.

New Members will be on probationary status for a period of one year.  New Members will have no voting power and may not hold office during their probationary period.  During this time, a New Member may be excused for cause at any time.

Junior Members are members under the age of 18, who are not part of a family membership.

Fees:  Perspective new members shall pay a non-refundable fee of $75 on or before their second session.  This fee will be in addition to the annual dues and is a one-time only fee.  This fee will entitle the perspective new member to attend four (4) sessions, prior to being voted a new member, within a three month period.  If the prospective new member does not attend the required four sessions within that period of time, the fee will be levied again upon his/her return to training.

Training Fees:  All members will pay a monthly training fee of $25, payable the second Sunday of each month.

Dues: The annual dues for individual Active Members and New Members shall be $125 per year.  Family (spouse/partner) Active membership shall be in the amount of $150 per year.  The annual dues for a Junior Member is $75; all other fees apply.  New members joining on or after November 1 shall pay one-half the yearly fee, payable upon acceptance into the Club.  Dues are to be paid before February 1 of each calendar year.  Dues are non-refundable.

Other Requirements:  All members are required to maintain a current membership with the United Schutzhund Clubs of America.  New members are required to join USA upon their acceptance into the HVP&SC.
