• I request my child be admitted to membership in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties. It is expressly understood and agreed by the undersigned that the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties is not liable or the loss of property or injury unless such loss or injury results directly from Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties negligence or the willful act of an employee of the organization. I also grant the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties permission to authorize and obtain medical care in case of illness and injury when neither parent/guardian is available to grant permission for emergency treatment. I understand that the membership dues are not refundable at any time for any reason. Under the open-door policy, it is understood and agreed that all members may come and go, as they desire. Therefore, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and DeSoto Counties will not be held liable for your child leaving the building and or/grounds. I fully understand and agree to all of the conditions stated on this form and have counseled my child to conform to these rules and the authority of the employees of the organization. I understand that my child’s membership may be suspended or cancelled any time, the sole decision resting in the judgment of the Director.
• If my contact information (phone, address, etc.) changes I will let the Boys & Girls Clubs know immediately. This is a very important safety issue.
• I understand that if the Boys & Girls Club staff contact me regarding my child being sick or hurt that I will pick up my child immediately or make arrangements for them to be picked up.
• I understand that access to Boys & Girls Clubs’ network and the Internet are designed for educational purposes and the Boys & Girls Clubs have taken precautions to educate members on appropriate educational materials. However, it is understood that no matter how much supervision and monitoring that the Club can utilize, there will always be the possibility of my child coming in contact with inappropriate material, and I will not hold the Boys & Girls Clubs responsible for materials acquired on the network.

**I understand there is a non-refundable $50 membership fee for The Club. Membership entitles teens to participation in all teen programs and opportunities for the academic school year. Payment must be made on the first day of program participation. If paying the membership fee would cause hardship to your family, please contact us for scholarship opportunities. Do not let this fee prevent you from registering. Please note, no payment is required for participation in Days of Service activities or Alternative Spring Break
