    - PAGE 14-
    FLORIDA POWER CLUB BY-LAWS
         
      the Reporter are more than tickets available, a lottery is to be held of

    Club members may purchase one ticket for themselves and a spouse/guest and either tickets for the member's dependent children or up to two non-dependent family members under the age of 18, at the Club members' price. A Club member's dependent is considered to be a son, daughter or parent who resides in the Club members' home and is truly dependent
    upon the Club member financially and otherwise. This can include a dependent child who is a full time high school or college student and remains financially dependent upon the Club member. If the Club member cannot attend due to work or illness, the spouse/guest may attend without the member.
    Club members may also purchase additional tickets for their non-household family and
    friends at non-member Club prices. Non-member priced tickets are available only
    to a Club member's non-household family (parents, brothers, sisters, etc) and/or friends
    and are not for use by non-member employees

    Ticket Policy Intent
    The simple intent of the Ticket Policy is that you, the person paying your membership
    dues to the Club is entitled to all the benefits and privileges afforded by Club membership.
    Your immediate family/household also benefits from your membership. A grown son or
    daughter who has moved out of your house is no longer a member of your household
    and no longer is entitled tobenefit from your membership. However,, a son or daughter still in school (high school, trade school or college etc.) that the IRS agrees is a dependent is entitled to benefit from your membership. An elderly or disabled older son,
    daughter or parent now living in your home under your care and supervision should be
    considered a dependent and welcome at Club functions as part of your household.

    Conversely, non-household family and friends are not entitled to Club benefits provided by
    your dues and the Club's investments. Non-household family and friends are welcome to
    attend many events at non-member prices, (non Cluyb-subsidized prices.) Certain events during the year will be for MEMBERS ONLY due to attendance limits and/or higher than anticipated club subsidy.
    Typically, these will be noted as "Member Appreciation Events."
