Membership Committee
Helping members feel connected, informed, and at home
The Membership Committee focuses on helping both new and longtime members connect with neighbors, understand how the community works, and find easy ways to stay involved.​
What Is the Membership Committee?
The Membership Committee supports our community by creating welcoming, connection-focused opportunities for members at every stage.
Our goal is simple: help people feel comfortable, included, and engaged — whether they’re brand new to the lake or have lived here for years.
We do this by offering:
-
Small, intentional gatherings
-
Clear information about the community
-
Opportunities to meet neighbors and get involved at your own pace
How We Support New & Current Members
For New Members
We help new members:
-
Meet neighbors in a relaxed, low-pressure setting
-
Learn about the lake, club traditions, and resources
-
Understand how to get involved if and when they’re ready
Feeling welcomed early makes it easier to settle in and feel at home.
​
For Longtime Members
We also support longtime members by:
-
Creating opportunities to reconnect with neighbors
-
Offering new ways to stay engaged
-
Encouraging participation that keeps the community active and welcoming
When longtime members participate, it helps create the friendly, inclusive atmosphere that makes Lake Shawnee such a great place to live.

How This Fits with Other Committees
The Membership Committee works alongside other club committees.

Together, these efforts help support a healthy, connected community.
