This series details the recruitment, enrollment, dues and fees, retention, class of membership (active, privileged, senior, retired senior, honorary, and military), and reason for termination of membership (moving away from Columbus, non-payment of dues or death). The Board of Directors approved or denied applications for membership, approved changes of membership class and accepted resignations, and these actions are documented in the minutes of the BoD. In the early years of the club, the membership and financial records were kept on two sides of the standardized reporting forms. These are filed under Series 8—Finances and contain a great deal of Membership information.
