Annual Member Maintenance Fees & Work Requirements

Purpose

Member participation is essential to the financial health and upkeep of Marine Hills Swim & Tennis Club. The Annual Member Maintenance program ensures that every member contributes to the club's operations through volunteer service—helping keep membership fees affordable and our facilities well-maintained.

“Time over dollars.” Every hour volunteered helps support our mission and bottom line.
