Guidelines for Membership
Membership is open to all, with no age or gender restrictions. However, individuals under 18 require written consent from a parent or guardian. Only members aged 21 and older have voting rights and can hold office in the Society.
Entrance Fee: There is no entrance fee payable for individuals’ becoming members of the Society. This means membership is accessible to all without any initial financial requirement.
Sources of Funds
The Society's funds are derived from:
-
Free-will Offerings: These include donations of money, property, or any interest therein, as well as any other valuable items. These offerings can be made through gifts, devises (wills), or bequests (inheritances).
-
Ownership and Leasing: The Society has the authority to own or lease both real (land, buildings) and personal (equipment, vehicles) property. This provides flexibility in managing assets needed to support its activities.
-
Special Funds If additional funds beyond regular donations are required for specific purposes (such as a special project or event), the Society can only raise these funds from its members with the explicit consent of a general meeting of the members. This ensures transparency and democratic decision-making among the membership regarding financial matters.
These provisions underscore the Society's reliance on voluntary contributions for its operations and development while ensuring that any special financial needs are met with the approval and support of its members as a collective body.
