Rules & Regulations Quiz

All members (renewals, life and new members, Spousal) must take this quiz. We prefer that you take it online, it will automatically be graded and recorded. Those that decide not to do it online will have to do it on paper and submit it to the database manager before your membership is processed. Please be cautious while scrolling through the quiz. It is easy to scroll right by a question. You must score 85% or better to continue.

We have recently added the location of the answer to each question, below the question choices. We encourage you to look each question up. I think even well seasoned members can learn something new, or the reason we do the things we do.

"*" indicates required fields
