On the new website, people have the ability to join or renew online.  Just click the Join or Renew button on the Home page, select a membership level and click 'Next'.  You can also renew by accessing your member profile and clicking 'renew now'.  Please note that your memberships cannot be renewed unless it is 45 days or less from the member expiration date. 

Payment can be made by check - paying at the General Meeting or mailing to our membership registrar (see General Contacts on the About Us menu).  Credit card payments are also accepted.  If you use this option, you will be directed to PayPal where you can use your PayPal account if you have one or by credit card and entering your credit card information.

There are 3 classes of membership, Adult Member, Past President and Junior Member.   Membership status is either Active or Lapsed.  An Active member is one who has paid their dues and can enjoy all the benefits of OSC.  A Lapsed status indicates the member's expiration has passed a 14 day grace period and they can only log onto the website to renew their membership.  If a member is in a Grace Period, they still have all the benefits of an active member.

When a membership is activated, the website will automatically send a letter with a temporary membership card. If paying by check, an invoice will be sent with the amount due to OSC.  The membership will not be complete until the check is received.  If the check is not received within the 14 day grace period, their status will go from Active to Lapsed.

The website will automatically send renewal notices for pending renewals and notices of a lapsed membership if the member doesn't renew on time.
