During this time, you will not be charged membership fees. At the end of the hold period, your monthly billing and membership privileges will resume. Hold requests must be received at least 15 days prior to the date membership fees are withdrawn (the 15th of each month).

All membership privileges, including member rates for program participation, are relinquished during the time a membership is on hold.
