Membership FAQ - Spring 2008

Are pool memberships available? How can I buy a membership?

175 family memberships make up the CSCSC. Our pool has been in existence for several years, and most of these memberships are already taken and in use. As of April 2008, we do have a limited number of memberships available. Also, members occasionally will re-sell their memberships, and so CSCSC maintains a waiting list for interested parties. Families wanting to sell their memberships will contact individuals on the waiting list to try and arrange a sale, or the CSCSC Board may be involved to facilitate the sale.

What is the price of a CSCSC membership?

Currently, memberships sold by the CSCSC Board are $800. A family that sells their membership independent of the board may establish any rate they choose. Annual membership dues for 2008 are $450. Dues must be paid in order to receive pool passes, use the pool, and remain in good standing with the Club. Therefore, the total amount of fees due for a membership sold by the CSCSC Board for start of the 2008 season would be $1250.

Can I just join for one summer?

Leases are currently available for the 2008 Season for $550. If you lease with the pool for more than a couple of seasons, expect your lease fees to escalate modestly in accordance with the Club bylaws. Fees increase to encourage lessees to consider full membership.

How do I apply for membership or a lease?

Contact Beth Lash, Membership Chair, at membership@capepool.com or 410-349-0384 to see if memberships are currently available. If none are available, Beth can put you on the waiting list and give you more information about that process.
Print the Membership Application or Lease Application and fill it out.
Mail your payment and application to the address listed on the application.
CSCSC is a private club, and you must be recommended for membership or leasing by a member in good standing with the pool. If you know a member of the pool and they want to recommend you, then please ask them to contact Beth Lash and indicate their recommendation. If you can not find someone to recommend you, then contact Beth Lash to discuss how to meet members.
The CSCSC Board must approve all memberships and leases. The Board meets regularly to make sure membership requests are processed in a timely manner.
If your membership or lease cannot be approved (i.e., because of availability, etc.), your check will be returned to you and an explanation will be given.

What’s the difference between a membership and a lease?

CSCSC is a private club and lessees do not have voting rights with the pool. Also, lessees are not guaranteed slot availability every swim season. Memberships can be re-sold for market value, but leases are one time only. Lessees are not obligated to the pool beyond each lease season.
