[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do any greater DC CC's offer Junior Memberships that are NOT just for legacies?

At my parents' CC in Atlanta, there are both legacy memberships (for the over 21 children of members) and junior memberships (for people under 35 who are not necessarily legacies). In both cases, potential members still go through the recommendation process, but the payment system is a little friendly to the lower budgets of younger people. For example, people under 35 pay $5k/year until age 35 + regular member monthly fee, then their total annual amount is deducted from the initiation amount if they decide to become full members at age 36. (So if you join at age thirty, you get $25k off your initiation fee at age 36.)

This system works for the CC because they get younger members who are likely to stay for life, and it benefits young members because they can spread out the cost and not be locked in if they move (like we did) or choose another club at age 36.

Do any DC clubs offer this sort of Junior Membership? We have asked some neighbors and colleagues who are members at a few different clubs, but none have had any idea about membership levels.[/quote]

This reminds me of a funny story: a friend of mine is on the board of governors at his club. There is a family who are members, the husband is over 45, the (second) wife under 35. He had been a member prior to the second marriage. He kept the membership from his first divorce and was paying full freight but the family petitioned the board to get the under 35 rate because of the wife's age. I never did find out the resolution but I think it was denied.[/quote]
