Delinquents are authorized to use the facilities but they will be required to pay by cash or credit card until delinquency is lifted.
On the basis of the above, the names of those Elks and Club members who have not settled their monthly accounts by the 26th of the month will REPEAT will be posted and will be so informed by the Staff that service will only be rendered by credit card or cash basis payment first. For your guidance Section I BILLS is posted on the bulletin board opposite the restrooms.
