An individual must sign up for an 8 week course and attend a minimum of 6 out of 8 classes before submitting a membership application. Once the membership application is completed and signed by two club members, the non-member mails it to the membership coordinator. The application is then voted on by the AOC Board. The Membership Coordinator then notifies the non-member of the Board approval and when the next membership meeting will be held, at which time the application will be voted on by the membership as a whole. The non-member must attend the meeting in order for the vote to take place. Because this process may take a couple of months to complete, the applicant is not considered a member until he/she attends the membership meeting when the applicant is voted in. Applicants may take additional classes by paying $75 for any eight week session until he/she is voted in by the membership.
