CLUB MEMBERSHIP

In preparation for the annual shareholders‟ meeting on December 13, the Finance Committee
will be meeting to summarize the finances for the year 2010 and prepare the budget for 2011.

In order for the committee to more accurately create the 2011 budget, knowing the membership
numbers is critical to this process. According to the By-Laws, Article III, Section 1 and 2, reads
as follows (briefly):

“It shall be the duty of the Secretary to close the books of the Club on January 1st of each year
and proceed to bill all members of the Club for current dues. All dues become due and payable
on the first day of January each year. Such dues may be paid in two (2) semi-annual install-
ments. The first installment shall become due the first day of January each year and shall be-
come delinquent on and after the first day of February. The subsequent installments shall be
due the first day of April each year.”

We are hoping each and every member stays with us in the coming year, but since annual dues
are so vital to our operation, it becomes critical for members to advise, in writing, their plans to
withdraw membership prior to the end of the year.

If your membership status has changed for 2011, please notify Andrea Scott or April Kent as
soon as possible in order that you are billed correctly.
 Happy New Year!!!

PROXY VOTING FORM DOLLAR$ and $ENSE

In the event a shareholder will be absent for a vote
at a shareholders‟ meeting, a proxy vote will be al-
lowed. Each Proxy Voting Form must be completed
by the member, which states that the bearer of the
form has permission to cast their vote (s) in absten-
tion.
The form may be obtained online from the HCC
Web site or from the club house. An incorrect, al-
tered, copied or incomplete form will be considered
invalid and the vote not counted. The completed
Proxy Voting Form must be submitted to an HCC
board member prior to voting.
KUDOS and THANK YOU to those mem-
bers who chose to „write a check‟ rather than use
their credit cards for monthly payments to HCC.
This sacrifice on your part does save the Club
money!!
Again, no credit card payment will be denied,
however, we strongly urge you to ‘write a
check’ rather than use a credit card for annual
dues or large monthly payments.
Thank you very much!
