Membership in Venetian Pools Community Association, Inc. (VPCA) is comprised of Lifetime and Honorary Memberships.

Lifetime Memberships

There are five types of memberships:

  • Family (two adults and dependants*)
  • Single Parent Family (one adult and dependants*)
  • Individual
  • Senior Couple (two adults in the same household, one who is age 65 or older)
  • Senior Individual (one individual age 65 or older)

* Dependents are children and/or parents of a member over half of whose support, for the calendar year before the pool season, was received from the member. Children 22 years or older will be considered dependent if they show proof that they still attend college or have special needs and still live at home.

Payment of Fees

Lifetime Members must pay both an initiation fee and yearly dues, commencing the first year of use. (See fees and dues above) Both the initiation fee and that season's yearly dues are payable in full at the time a Lifetime Membership is offered. Yearly dues for subsequent seasons will be billed in early January and are due in full no later than February 28 of each year. A $100 late charge will apply if dues sent are postmark after March 1st.

Dues not sent and postmarked by March 31st will be considered lapsed, and the membership will be redeemed.

Redemption

Redemption is the surrender of your Lifetime Membership back to VPCA, permanently terminating your membership in the Association. Redemptions may take place from January 1 through May 15 of each year. To redeem, you must surrender your membership certificate and your pool key tag. If you have lost your certificate, please submit a letter stating so, your wish to redeem and signature(s) of member(s) listed on certificate. Send your certificate or letter with key tags to:

For those members entitled to a redemption percentage, it will usually take 2 weeks to issue your Redemption Check. Your redemption check will be in the amount of the Redemption Value of your membership as specified on your Membership Certificate.
Note: Redemption returns are no longer offered for memberships issued in 2007 and later. The Initiation Fee paid is non-refundable.
