HOW TO JOIN MARION COUNTY FISH & GAME ASSOCIATION
- ATTEND AN APPROVED TRAINING CLASS:
- A list of the approved classes is available at MCFG Indy Range - Memberships Available, How to Join, Dues.
- Training can be taken at MCFG or any other location. Check MCFG Indy Range - Official Events Calendar and Schedule or MCFG Indy Range - NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course for a list of training opportunities at MCFG.
- Be sure to get a signed certificate of completion from the trainer.
- Please don't ask for an exemption from the training because: (1) you've been shooting for years or (2) got trained by your dad or (3) were/are in the military or (4) were/are a police officer, etc. Unless your training is specifically listed, you will need to attend one of the approved training classes before you will be considered for a membership.
- FILL OUT PAPERWORK: If you show up to a meeting with your paperwork already completed, it is a huge help. You need to fill out the following:
- Application – can be downloaded at: MCFG Indy Range - Memberships Available, How to Join, Dues
- Quiz – can be downloaded at MCFG Indy Range - Shooting Range Rules and Property Rules
- BRING PAYMENT:
- Membership Dues
- New Membership Fee
- Please MCFG Indy Range - Memberships Available, How to Join, Dues for current membership dues amounts.
- ATTEND A BOARD MEETING OR VOLUNTEER DAY WITH SAFETY ORIENTATION:
- In order to join, prospective new members are required to attend a Board Meeting (typically the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30 pm) or Volunteer Day (typically a weekend in April). Please double check the club's schedule, as it shows the updated Board Meeting dates.
- A Safety Orientation will be conducted as part of every Monthly Board Meeting and Volunteer Day. If you arrive late to the meeting, you will not be allowed to go through Safety Orientation and you will not be allowed to join. It is recommended that you show up at least 15 minutes early. Once the meeting starts, one of our existing members will give you our Safety Orientation and answer any questions you may have. Please make sure you pay attention and ask questions! Please make sure you pay attention to the Safety Orientation. Violations of club rules can result in suspension or revocation of memberships.
- Be sure to bring:
- Payment.
- Signed certificate of completion of Training.
- Application and Quiz if you completed them beforehand.
HOW TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP AT MARION COUNTY FISH & GAME ASSOCIATION
- WHEN DO I HAVE TO SEND MY MONEY: Your renewal is due between January 1st and the first Volunteer Day of the year.
- If your dues don't arrive by the first Volunteer Day, you are out of luck and you'll have to pay the New Membership Fee, meet the Education Requirement, and go through the Safety Orientation during a normal Board Meeting.
- Please don't ask for "special consideration". These rules are designed to make it fair for all members as well as the volunteer Board.
- HOW MUCH ARE ANNUAL DUES:
- Check the website MCFG Indy Range - Memberships Available, How to Join, Dues for the current yearly dues.
- WHAT PAPERWORK IS NEEDED:
- A copy of the Membership Application must accompany your renewal and must be filled out every YEAR; this includes Life Members as well. This helps MCFG keep updated records of addresses and phone numbers (for mailing out the newsletter, contacting you if there is an emergency, etc.).
- A renewal application will be mailed early in the year. You can also download a copy from MCFG Indy Range - Memberships Available, How to Join, Dues .
- WHERE DO I SEND IT:
- Send Your completed Membership Application and Membership Dues to:
1950 East Greyhound Pass, Suite 18-367
Carmel, IN 46033
- Make sure you don't send it to our physical address, as there is no mailbox there to receive it! If you send it to the wrong address and it is late, you will have to re-join as a new member!
- WHO DO I CONTACT TO CONFIRM MY PAYMENT WAS RECEIVED:
- We prefer that you wait and watch for your check to clear. If you absolutely must email to confirm your payment, wait until close to the Volunteer Day so that all of the transactions can be processed.
- MCFG's Vice-President (VicePresident@IndyRange.org) keeps track of payments that have been received. Please keep in mind that this is a volunteer position and that over a thousand payments will be getting mailed in.
- DID I MISS THE NEWSLETTER:
- The MCFG Newsletter and renewal information is typically sent out in January. If you don't receive one by the end of February, it might be a good idea to drop the Treasurer an email to confirm that your address on file was still correct. MCFG can't be responsible for address errors, people moving during the year, etc.
