Section 5 - Expulsion

Membership will automatically lapse for non-payment of dues.  Any member, so expelled may appeal to the Executive Committee and, upon the payment of such penalty as is determined by that committee, may be reinstated.  A member may be expelled by a two-thirds vote of the Executive Committee for violations of the rules of the National or Regional Club, for unsportsmanlike or ungentlemanly behavior inconsistent with the best interests of the Club. Any expelled member shall have the right to appeal to the membership of the club, at any regular or special meeting of the Club, whose decision shall be final.

Section 6 - Suspension

Members may be suspended for reprehensible behavior, which, in the opinion of the Executive Committee does not warrant expulsion.  Suspended members may appeal to the Executive Committee for reinstatement.  Failing to receive a favorable decision by the Executive Committee, suspended members may appeal to the membership at any regular or special meeting.  The membership may continue the suspension for a definite period of time or terminate the suspension. 

Section 7 - Resignation

Any member may resign by addressing a letter of resignation to the Secretary.  His resignation shall become effective on the date stated by him, and his privileges shall terminate as of that date.
