The NRC Structure
NRC events & activities are open to ALL Members. There is a one-time cost of $60 for individuals and $120 for couples to join the NRC. During the first 3 years of membership, you also have the right to vote & hold office within the Club. After 3 years, you can no longer vote nor hold office (referred to as a Non-Voting Member).
While the NRC consists of thousands of Members, new Groups are formed by all the new Members joining the NRC in a given month. These Groups also plan their own events & activities for just their Group (such as Potluck dinner parties, “Night-out” gatherings for their Group, card parties, etc.). This Group structure allows new Members to more rapidly form friendships with a small group of people with similar interests living in Cape Coral while still getting to participate in the full Club’s events & activities to form additional friendships with Members in other Groups.
After joining the NRC members have access to a members-only website with information on events and ability to purchase tickets, a members-only FaceBook page, and a monthly newsletter.
