If a member wishes to drop active membership in the Lodge, an “Absolute Dimit” is issued to a member in good standing.  With the dimit, the member may reinstate in B.P.O.E. #804 or any other Lodge for a $10.00 fee plus dues.  If a member moves to a different area, he may request a “Transfer Dimit” to another Lodge.  The Secretary will assist, as necessary, in all membership matters.

Eligibility and Requirements

Privileges

Use of the Club facilities, activities and attendance at the Lodge is limited to “members in good-standing”.  Non-use of the facilities does not qualify a member for suspension of dues and payments.

On Lodge nights there are drawings.  A winning member must be present, have a valid and signed membership card and have purchased a $1.00 Laradon Hall ticket. 

Drawings of the Laradon Hall tickets normally are held during the holidays.  Winners sometimes receive either $5.00 and/or turkeys.

Bean Pot drawings are held each meeting in the Rathskeller.  Members add 0.25 cents to the bean pot and sign the weekly log to enter.  If a member’s name is drawn, he/she can win up to $200.00, if verified that he/she has signed the weekly log.
