JAKE MEMBERSHIP:

As a matter of course I think it prudent to outline the levels of membership and put forth a few guidelines for becoming a Jake Member. Starting at the bottom of course.

Junior Membership:
If someone expresses an interest in joining our group, they do this by way of “Junior Membership”. Juniors must complete a 3 year apprenticeship meaning they must participate in all aspects of Jake Day (i.e. golf/lunch/drinks/dinner/drinks). Those who are present for only some of those facets will be required to repeat their prior year. An example would be, if a new 1st year member, we'll call him (oh, I don't know) Dee, participates in golf but does not make it to say drinks or dinner or even drinks, he would be required to repeat his 1st year again. Even if someone is on their 3rd year and they miss one of the aspects of the day they would have to repeat their 3rd year the following Jake Day.

Associate Membership:
Once the apprenticeship is complete to the satisfaction of the Founders, the Junior would move up to "Associate Member" status. This is also known as "Chief" status. Here they will hone their skills and enjoy the full compliment of privileges that go along with Jake membership*.

Full (Partner) Membership:
After Associate Members, there is another level of membership reserved for only the most dedicated of individuals. People who exemplify what it truly means to embrace Jake and all he stands for. It takes years of service and perseverance. By a majority vote, only the Founders have the ability to elevate someone from Associate to Partner and it's only happened once so far. This is something to strive for gentlemen. It's not to be taken lightly and it's not for the squeamish.

Founding Members:
The original 9 who gathered that fateful day on the 19th of June 1992 (Jake 1).
~ Dancer ~ Heff ~ Rosco ~ Stubby ~ Chag ~
~ Doc ~ Lt. Stalkfleet ~ Hub ~ Squirrel ~

Good luck gentlemen, good luck and Godspeed.

* = in reality there are no real privileges to being a Jake member.
