Northern
California Pug Club
GENERAL INFORMATION:
There are two types of membership open to all persons 18 years of age and older
who are in good standing with The American Kennel Club and who subscribe to the
purposes of the Northern California Pug Club.
(1) “Regular” members
enjoy all Club privileges including the right to vote and hold office.
(2) “Associate” members’
privileges are limited to receipt of the Club’s newsletter and attendance at Club sponsored
activities, and expressly exclude the right to vote, hold office, eligibility
for or receipt of Club
awards and all other rights and privileges of legal members of a California Nonprofit Public
Benefit Corporation. Associate membership applications should be filed with the Membership Chair but
do not require sponsors or the approval process applicable to prospective regular applicants.
An associate member may at any time apply for regular membership as outlined in the
Northern California Pug Club By-Laws.
While membership is to be unrestricted as to residence, the Club's primary
purpose is to be representative of the Pug breeders, owners, and exhibitors in
Northern California.
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR COMPLETING A MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION:
* Each person
applying for membership in the Club must fill-out their own application. Single
applications submitted for
multiple individuals (such as a husband and wife), will not be accepted.
* Applications
should be filled out by either typing or printing clearly using a dark pen.
* All entries on
the application form must be completed. Mark “NA” for those entries that are not
applicable.
* To apply for
“regular” membership, an applicant must attend one Club meeting and either work
at one NCPC function
or attend a second Club meeting, all within one year of submitting an
application for membership.
* Applications
for “regular” membership must include the signatures of the two NCPC members in
good standing who
are endorsing the applicant.
* Incomplete
applications will be returned to the applicant for correction. Please note that

applying for “regular” membership.
* First year
membership dues must accompany the application. Club dues are twenty-five
dollars ($25) per person per
year for “regular” membership and twenty dollars ($20) per person per year for
"associate”

payable to the Northern
California Pug Club (NCPC).
* Properly
completed applications and accompanying payment should be mailed to the NCPC Membership
Chairman as indicated on the application form for processing.

An application for “regular” membership will be read at the first Club meeting
following its receipt. The applicant’s name and sponsors’ names will then be published in the next NCPC
Newsletter indicating that he/she has applied for regular membership in the Club. Following the
publication of a prospective member’s information in the Newsletter, their application will be voted upon
by secret, written ballot at the next scheduled Club meeting. Affirmative votes by 3/4 of the Regular
members present and voting at that meeting shall be required to approve the application.
