Notification will be given by correspondence, normally within 7 business days. If approved, the applicant will be given information on how, when, and to whom membership dues can be paid. Dues may be paid at club meetings or by prior arrangement. National Rifle Association (NRA)We are a 100% National Rifle Association (NRA) club and NRA membership is required for membership in Grand Island Rifle Club. All new members must maintain membership in good standing with the NRA. The amount of dues, proof of membership to the NRA, with expiration date and member’s NRA Identification number must be supplied, or dues cannot be accepted. We can sign-up first year new members for the NRA at the time they pay their Rifle Club dues, and it will be the member’s responsibility to maintain NRA membership thereafter. Membership DuesA new member’s club dues are prorated quarterly, which means that dues are reduced throughout the year for new members only, depending on when dues are paid. Once accepted, applicants have one year in which to pay their dues. If not paid within this time period, the application becomes null and void and the applicant will have to go through the application process again. New members will be on probation for 6 months. New members have all the privileges as full members except that they cannot vote on any issue until their probationary period is over. Full dues for returning members come due March first of each year and is currently at $50.00. Returning members have the entire month of March as a grace period to pay dues. Returning members must have proof of NRA membership and their identification number.
