SLCFSA RENEWAL 2026
Refer to the instructions on the Membership Form for renewing your membership.
It’s that time of year again, time for renewing your membership for 2026. It begins on September 1st and ends on December 31st. Same procedure as last year, hard copy form with a check or money order mailed to SLCFSA PO Box 534 Quarryville PA 17566 or renew online with a credit/debit card. For 2025 about 3/4 of membership renewed online, made our job a lot easier and I hope it was more convenient for those who did.
A reminder, if you do not renew by December 31st, you will lose your current member status and if you wish to rejoin it is no different than someone who was never a member. There are no exceptions, no excuses, that is how the bylaws are written, we follow the text of the bylaws.
ARTICLE III – Membership
Section 9: Loss of Membership will result if any member
- Fails to renew annual dues on or before the set expiration date of December 31st of each year.
- All members must complete the Membership Renewal Form for the upcoming year.
The Release of Liability section of the Membership Renewal Form is required to be completed each year by every member, regardless of type of membership or dues requirement
(For online renewal, what you fill out/enter online is your “Membership Renewal Form”)
One of the hardest parts of being membership secretary is every year those who contact me and inform me how they forgot or had unforeseen circumstances, a health issue, having to tell them no, we are sorry, but we must follow the bylaws as written and there are no exceptions. So please, there is a four-month time frame to renew, do not wait till the end, you never know what tomorrow will bring.
All the details for renewing are on the membership form that is available on the club website and in the Sept/Oct and Nov/Dec newsletters each year.

FIRST RESPONDERS applications. (Updated 7/10/2025)
Active law enforcement, first responders, & active-duty military may join any time of the year outside of the normal orientation window. Please attempt to join on a regular orientation date if possible.
“DO I QUALIFY?”
To see if you qualify to join as a First Responder, please refer to the list “First Responder Eligibility” at the attached link. The definition of First Responder is very broad and can be interpreted in many ways and is by many agencies and after extensive thought and searching we have decided this list to be the most comprehensive and fair. The purpose of this list is to have an itemized list of what positions SLCFSA considers a First Responder and who can join the club with First Responder status. Note that you must be active, retired does not qualify. Civilian contractors do not qualify.
