Membership Information

Ingomar Club Mission

"The Ingomar Club serves a dual mission of the restoration and preservation of the unique historical building and grounds of the Carson Mansion, while providing fine dining and social experiences for its members."

Membership

The membership of the Ingomar Club shall consist of persons who believe in and support the mission of the Ingomar Club. Membership shall be classified as follows: Regular, Emeritus, Non-resident, Inactive, and Honorary. Resignation from memberships shall be deemed completed only after submission in writing and acceptance by the Board of Directors.

  • REGULAR MEMBERSHIP

    • Persons, whose residence or principal place of business is located in Northern California, may be elected to Regular Membership. Regular membership includes three categories of Junior Memberships from 21-39 years of age, plus a Legacy Membership for children/grandchildren of current or former members.

  • EMERITUS MEMBERSHIP

    • Any Regular Member who has attained the age of 68 years and who has been a member of the Club for seven (7) years or more, shall be a Member Emeritus. That member shall have all the privileges of a Regular Member of the Club and shall pay the prevailing monthly dues and assessments but shall not be subject to any monthly or quarterly minimum charges.

  • NON-RESIDENT MEMBERSHIP

    • Persons whose bona fide residence and principal place of business is more than sixty (60) miles distant from the City of Eureka, Humboldt County, California, maybe elected to Non-resident Membership. This section shall not apply to persons who were Non-resident Members at the date of enactment of these Bylaws. INACTIVE MEMBERS Any Regular Member who has been a member in good standing for a period of ten (10) years or more shall be eligible for consideration as an “Inactive Member.” An Inactive Member is defined as one who, in the complete discretion of the Board of Directors, has a chronic health problem due to illness or injury which prevents that member from using the member’s Club privileges. An Inactive Member shall not be subject to any minimum charges or monthly dues but shall be considered a member of the INGOMAR CLUB. Inactive Membership will be in effect for six months. After that time, the member shall return to Regular Membership status and shall be subject to minimum charges and monthly dues and assessments. If the Inactive Member is unable to return to Regular Membership status after six months period, a written request for an additional extension must be presented to the Board of Directors prior to the conclusion of the initial six month period. Board approvals for additional extensions of time will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

      While on the Inactive Member status, a member shall have the right to visit the Club House and enjoy the privileges of membership for which that member shall pay the normal charges. However, the Board of Directors shall consider an Inactive Member’s ability to visit the Club House as one factor in determining whether or not to return the Inactive Member to Regular Membership status.

      The requirement that a member be a member of the Club in good standing for a period of ten (10) years before the member qualifies for Inactive Member status may be waived by a vote of the Board of Directors.

  • HONORARY MEMBERSHIP

    • Persons of prominence in Government, Education, Military or Diplomatic affairs or other public service, may, by vote of the Board of Directors, be made Honorary Members. The Board of Directors may grant Honorary Membership to any past President who lives further than 150 miles from Eureka and to any spouse of a deceased member who has not remarried. Honorary Members shall have all of the privileges of Regular Membership, but they may not vote, hold elected or appointed office, or be included in the Club's total membership count of 399. INITIATION FEES Regular and Non-resident Members shall pay an initial fee, including any applicable tax. The fee in effect at the date of admission to membership, rather than the date of approval of the membership application, shall be paid by each new member. The amount of initiation fees and the schedule for payment thereof shall be set by the Board of Directors as it determines from time to time. Members may not vote or hold office until the entire initiation fee is paid in full, but shall have all other privileges of membership.
