No Member can extend any rights or privileges to use the properties or facilities of the Association.  This is the sole prerogative of the Association.  Temporary Member or Guest rights and privileges will be extended by the Association only when requested to do so by a Member or Temporary Member in good standing.  Such extension will be evidenced by the registration of the person as a guest of the Association.  As stated in sections 3.01 and 3.04 of the Bylaws, “Temporary Members” are persons (including Inn guests) who are renting, for twelve weeks or less, a residence or cottage, located in the Eagles Mere Area, owned by a member in good standing, who has paid the Lake Protection Fees and Basic Annual Fees at the seasonal rates for the property being rented.
 Members owning more than one cottage or residence who desire Temporary Member privileges and/or Member privileges for more than one facility at the same time shall pay an additional Basic Annual Fee and applicable Lake Protection Fees for each additional family.
 It is the Members responsibility to assure that Temporary Members and guests sponsored by them know and follow Association rules.  This is particularly important for Temporary Members who are Inn guests or guests of renters.
 Temporary Members must register at the Beach Office at the beginning of their stay during the summer season.
 In every case, the Member requesting the extension of Temporary Member privileges shall be responsible for the conduct and all financial obligations to the Association incurred by such guests.
 A Temporary Member family shall consist of only the husband, wife and their own children. Temporary membership fees shall be charged based on the sleeping capacity of the cottage being rented.  The privileges covered by the payment of a single Temporary Membership fee will be for the rental period only, and will extend to the immediate family of the Temporary Member listed on the application, and guests who are staying in the cottage while the Temporary Member is in residence. 

There are two types of “Guests”:

“Personal Guests” are persons who are non-paying day or overnight residence or cottage guests of a Member or Temporary Member (who is renting a house) in good standing.  Personal guest privileges do not require the payment of additional Basic Annual Fees or Lake Protection Fees.  Personal guest privileges will not be extended to the following persons and members of their immediate families: Persons who are in arrears in the payment of dues, fees, or other charges of the Association.
 Persons who are renting a cottage or residence in the Eagles Mere Area, for which the current dues, fees, and charges of the Association have not been paid.
 Persons who have been suspended by the Association for cause. 
Any other persons who qualify for Active Membership in the Association, and who would be using the Personal Guest privileges to avoid payment of properly chargeable dues, fees, or other charges of the Association. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person may be extended personal guest privileges for not more than a total of five (5) days in any calendar year, if he or she is duly registered, and vouched for by a member in good standing.

“Association Guests” are persons who are invited to use the properties and facilities of the Association for participation in activities or sports.  Groups who are approved by the EMA Board, or Association Manager, for periodic visits such as sailing clubs, camps, etc. also fall within this classification. Also, the children under twenty-two (22) years of age of year-round residents of the Eagles Mere Area and the employees under twenty-two (22) years of age of a commercial enterprises in Eagles Mere, who desire to use the beach facilities and who are approved by the Association Manager, shall be included in this classification, upon registration and payment of any required fees.
 The Association may refuse to extend privileges to any person, if in the judgment of an officer of the Association or his/her delegate such registration, is not in the best interests of the members of the Association.
