The application requires a sponsor who is a member in

your Rhodesian Ridgeback but this is not a requirement.

a sponsor. Please consider this an invitation to come to
future events and to join the Club.
Before completing the application please take the time

When does membership begin if someone decides to
apply?
Once your application is received, your name will be
placed on the club's mailing list. You will then receive
the Club's newsletter, "The Ridgeline" which includes
information about upcoming events. You will also receive
flyers with more details including directions to the
events. Please consider attending in order to meet
members of the Club and for the membership to welcome
you.
Your application will be announced at the business
meeting accompanying the next event after it is received
or your name will be published in the next issue of "The
Ridgeline", which ever comes first. After your name has
been published in the clubs newsletter, the actual vote
on your membership will be done by the Board.
