The bureau will register the applicant, verify his or her eligibility and send him or her the association booklet detailing articles and rules of the association with other information needed.
A member of the association may be dismissed of his or her membership at any time and lose all his or her prerogatives and rights. In such a case, the bureau of membership will notify the member by mail. The member can contact the direction of the association if he or she contests the decision of dismissal.
Contributions.
Every member has to pay a monthly contribution to the association. The amount of the contribution and the procedures for collection will be set by the treasurer.
Members will be contacted by the treasurer or the commissioner on finances in case they have a past due contribution. Two late payments will be considered as an abandonment of a membership and be treated accordingly. After two attempts to collect past due contribution, the case will be submitted by the treasurer to the board of directors to decide upon.
Contributions for membership cannot be reimbursed. All members who apply for membership agree that their contribution will serve for the functioning of the association but not as a savings.

Other collection or fundraising events can be organized for particular projects that require funds beyond the monthly contributions.
