Membership

 

HCV encourages the Richmond community to become a member and enjoy being part of the Hindu Center family, and to feel pride in sharing in the resources and expenses of the center and temple. In the course of a year, lot of activities are held at the center and also expenses are incurred to run the religious and non-religious activities. It is a good feeling to know that one is sharing in this.

As a member you have the ability to participate in the decision-making process to run the Hindu Center. Members are also offered discounted rates for hall rental,library and other fees. Overall, benefits of having the membership are worth more than the dues paid for individual activities.

There are four levels of membership:
(a) Regular Membership: Open to all community members who subscribe to the objectives of the HCV. Regular members are eligible to be nominated to some roles in the Executive Committee.
The Annual membership fee currently is $101 per calendar year for a family.

(c) Corporate Membership: Members who have held Life Membership for at least three years can be nominated to become Corporate Members. Nominees will have provided substantial service to the Center, and be active participants in all HCV activities. Nominees will be on the ballot for election by the Corporate Body at its annual meeting. Nominees receiving at least 4/5 of the votes will become Corporate Members.
