I have read the letter “A Message to Parents & Guardians”, and the competed application. I understand the rule of the Boys & Girls Club of Hamilton, and request that my child be admitted into membership. I have explained the rules to my child and understand that if their behavior is not in compliance with the rules of the Club it will result in suspension of membership. I also understand that the Club does not carry insurance for its members. I give my consent for photographs in which my child may appear to be used for marketing purposes. I give consent for my child to access the internet and for the Club to receive my child’s grades. Boys & Girls Club does not monitor who leaves the Club. Once a member leaves the building he/she cannot return without a note or phone call from their parent or guardian. I agree to cooperate with lockdown procedures should circumstances warrant Club to lockdown to ensure the safety of its members.
