B-Membership Waiting List
Class B memberships are limited.  If you buy a house where the seller had a B-Membership, you can skip the waiting list if you apply within 60 days of purchase.  Otherwise, you can request to be added to the B-Member Waiting List.  Send your name, address, phone number, email along with the request to Office@SherwoodLakeClub.org.  You will receive an email confirmation.

The Waiting List is often ten to thirty names long and only a few B-Members move or leave each year, so the wait can take a while.  Let us know if you have questions.
