If membership will begin between January 1 and June 30, the payment amount is $180 (i.e., a one-time initiation fee of $100, plus the first year's dues of $70, plus a one-time* $10 gate card activation fee). If membership will begin after June 30, the payment amount is $145 (i.e., a one-time initiation fee of $100, plus six months dues of $35, plus the one-time* $10 gate card activation fee). Members' spouses and children under the age of 18 may join the Club as "Associate Members" at lower rates. If questions arise, you can call MLGC and leave a message at (209) 984-4160.
