Membership in ODTC

Come join us! To apply for membership in ODTC, just complete an application form, be sponsored by two current members of the Club, and attend two monthly membership meetings. There are three types of membership at ODTC -- individual, family, and honorary. Individual membership dues are $25 per year. Family membership dues are $40 per year. Honorary membership has no dues. Individual and Family memberships have voting privileges. Honorary memberships have no voting privileges.

ODTC members meet the fourth Monday of (almost) every month at 7:30 P.M. at various locations in Orlando. See the Home page for up-to-date meeting location information.

"Each applicant for membership shall attend two monthly meetings and shall apply on a form as approved by the Board of Directors and which shall provide that the applicant agrees to abide by these By-Laws and the rules of The American Kennel Club. The application shall state the name, address and occupation of the applicant, and it shall carry the endorsement of two members who are in good standing with The American Kennel Club. Accompanying the application, the prospective member shall submit dues payment for the current year. All applications are to be filed with the Corresponding Secretary and submitted to the Board of Directors at the first meeting following their receipt. The Board shall act as a membership committee to recommend the approval or disapproval of the applications. Applicants shall be voted on at the next regular meeting of the Club, with an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the voting members present and voting by secret ballot necessary for approval. Applicants for membership who have been rejected by the Club may not re-apply within six months after the rejection. Applicants who have been accepted as members are expected to volunteer their services in Club working functions."
