| MEMBERSHIP GUIDELINESThe Oak Ridge Sportsmen's Association (ORSA) is an
organization of shooters, hunters, archers, fishermen and others dedicated to
outdoor sports and conservation. Membership is open to all citizens of the
United States, ages 19 or older, who have never been convicted of a felony, and
whose activities and behavior do not conflict with the best interests of the
majority of the membership. ORSA emphasizes safety and common sense. Members are asked to follow a set of simple rules designed to permit safe enjoyment of the facilities. The $120.00 ANNUAL DUES MUST ACCOMPANY THE APPLICATION AND ARE PRORATED QUARTERLY ACCORDING TO THE DATE THE APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED TO ORSA:
APPLICATIONS ARE REVIEWED BY THE BOARD: The Board of Directors meet once a month (currently the 1st Wednesday). At this meeting, completed applications are reviewed. Approved applications are informed by mail (or by e-mail when possible) of the Board's action and are notified of the orientation session. Sponsored applicants are reviewed once by the Board whereas unsponsored applicants require review at two successive Board meetings. Unsponsored members are required to obtain a sponsor during the first membership year and submit a sponsor statement with their first renewal dues payment. The ANNUAL DUES are not refundable unless membership is NOT approved. A SPONSOR MUST BE AN ACTIVE ORSA MEMBER: Sponsors must be active (dues paid in full for the current year) sponsored members and must personally sign and date this application as well as print their name and key number and specify how long they have known the applicant. A SPONSOR MAY ALSO BE AN ORGANIZATION: The Board of Directors will accept proof of membership or affiliation with a recognized firearms, archery, or conservation related organization in lieu of a ORSA member-sponsor. The organization must have goals or objectives that do not conflict with the goals and objectives of ORSA. A photocopy of the membership card will be considered proof of membership and should be included with the application. ORIENTATION IS MANDATORY FOR ALL NEW MEMBERS: An orientation of approximately 1 ½ hour is held every 3rd Sunday of each month at 1:30pm at the indoor range or clubhouse and is required for all new members before they receive their gate key and badge. Badges and keys are not transferable. In addition, badges must be worn at all times while on the premises. Former members who have been inactive for a year or more are considered new members and are required to re-orient. Following notification it is the applicant's responsibility to attend the earliest orientation session available. SPECIAL FACILITY ACCESS: Guidelines for issuing keys to special facilities (indoor range, equipment sheds, etc.) requires at least one full year of membership, regular participation in a scheduled activity that uses the particular special facility, and at least four hours on work parties (per year).
