                            Connections New Application Process as of Feb 1, 2023

·         Each Applicant must have a Sponsor to apply for membership

·         The sponsor must be a member of connections for 1 year

·         The member can only sponsor 1 applicant per year

·         The application should be completed and sent to the sponsor along with the check for membership ($50 check made out to FPC Connections)

·         The sponsor will review the application for completeness and forward the application to the membership chair, (Susan J. Steele    200 Brook Street    Harrington Park, N.J. 07640).

Once the membership chair receives the application and check, she will place the applicant on a list of applicants compiled in chronological order.

·         New members cannot participate in Connections activities until they are introduced, receive their name tag and their check is cashed. 

·       Our Constitution states we will introduce 5 members a month.  Applicants that remain on the list will be introduced at a subsequent meeting.

·         We have capped membership at 250.
