I’m not sure if they still have restrictions but in case anyone didn’t know it did used to be restricted. I got my membership because my parents had one. They got one because my dad worked for the county. You could also qualify if you owned a business or worked for a business that had a membership. There used to be some hoops to jump through that were always pretty easy to jump through. Possibly to make it seem even more exclusive. I don’t know if they still do that though.
