All official Las Vegas Corvettes Association applications for membership will be retained, in file, by the Association Treasurer.

Only those applications for membership with a sponsor's name or a attached "Membership Inquiry" flyer (brochure) with a sponsor's name will be allowable for this award.

NOTE: Applications for Membership submitted in the month of December may not be billed and payment for dues and fees received in time to make the December 31st deadline. In these cases they will be credited to the sponsor members next year’s total. There may be certain activities used in part (i.e. the Jaycee Fair Exhibit, Auto Shows, etc.) to procure new members.
