New Canaan Winter Club Membership Procedure
Any Regular member may propose, second or support a candidate. Limited members can second or support a candidate. The maximum number of proposing, seconding and supporting letters the Committee will accept, from any member during any twelve month period, will be four. Within that limit, the number of proposing letters will be two. That twelve-month period aside, members may have no more than two proposals pending acceptance at one time.
The proposer should guide the candidate to the club’s website (ncwinterclub.com) to download the application for membership which can be accessed in the link below, or under the “Documents” tab along the left side of the website home page. The candidate should mail the completed application to the proposer. In addition to the application, a proposer’s letter, a seconding letter and two supporting letters are required. Such letters should refer to the length of time the writer has known the candidate (husband, wife and children). Letters should also note which programs the family will likely participate in and include background information on community and other activities in which the candidate is involved. The proposer should mail the application and four letters to the Chairman of the Membership Committee, Jenny McMahon, 63 Old Studio Road, New Canaan, CT 06840.
While on the waiting list, candidates must be introduced to at least three members of the Membership Committee. The Membership Committee periodically hosts parties to meet prospective candidates who are unable to list three Members of the Membership Committee on their application. Candidates needing introductions will be invited to one of these functions directly by the Membership Committee. If a candidate is unable to attend, it is the responsibility of the proposer to assist in making the introductions.
The Membership Committee meets periodically to review applications. The Membership Committee reserves the right to ask for additional supporting letters or information if necessary. The waiting list for admission to the club is approximately 1- 2 years.
For a Membership Application, please click on "Documents" on the left hand column of the home page.
