PVRA Guest Membership Waitlist Status (2025)
Where am I on the waitlist?
You can check to see where you are on the waitlist by logging onto www.pvra.org and going to "My Account" > "My Forms/Paperwork" and clicking on "Member Registration".
The field "WL Priority" indicates your position on the waitlist. Your WL number does not change from year to year, but as people join the PVRA or decline the invitation to join, they are removed from the waitlist and the number of people ahead of you decreases. This means, for example, if your WL Priority is #199, it does not necessarily indicate there are 198 families ahead of you.
People who decline an invitation may rejoin the waitlist, but they are moved to the back and assigned a new WL Priority number at the end of the list.
How many new members will be added this year?
For the 2025 season, we plan to add 15 new guest members. We may add more if our membership turnover is higher than anticipated.
Waitlisted families with a WL Priority number of 145 and lower will receive an invitation to join the PVRA for the 2025 season. This first round of invitations was emailed in late February. If needed, we will send out additional rounds of invitations until we fill all open spots. Our acceptance rate is typically between 30-50%, so we could expect to go through about 50 spots total from the waitlist over 2-3 rounds of invitations to fill these open spots for this season.
What do I need to do when I get an invitation?
To accept the invitation, you must submit payment of the one-time initiation fee. You will have 1 week to accept the invitation and submit the initiation fee payment. This deadline may be extended to take into account things such as the school break; the exact deadline will be specified in the invitation email. You then will be required to pay the annual membership fee by the membership payment deadline established that year.
How much does it cost to join the PVRA?
When you first join the PVRA, you will pay a one-time guest member initiation fee, plus the annual guest family membership fee. For the 2025 season, these fees are:
2025 Guest Member Initiation Fee: $1,580
2025 Guest Member Family Membership Annual Fee: $1,680 (or $1,580 if paid by the early payment deadline of April 7, 2025).
A new guest member joining in 2025 would pay a total of $3,160 (assuming they paid their annual fee by the early payment deadline). In subsequent years, you only pay the annual membership fee for that year. For example, a returning guest member in 2025 would pay $1,580 for the 2025 season (assuming payment by early payment deadline).
What if I decline or do not accept the invitation?
If you are offered an invitation but do not accept it, you will be removed from the waitlist. You can rejoin the waitlist, but you will be moved to the back and assigned a new WL Priority number at the end of the list. You cannot defer your invitation to the following year.
Other things to keep in mind...
- Inclusion on this waitlist doesn't guarantee an invitation. PVRA has the sole discretion to choose who becomes a member and when.
- We do not offer tours of the facility outside of our operating season or hours. If you would like to check out the facilities, the best way to do so is by visiting as a guest of a current member. If you can't do this, you can stop by the PVRA to have a quick look around, but please note you will not be permitted to use the pool or facilities.
- Please keep in mind that administration of this guest waiting list, and management of the PVRA in general, is handled by member volunteers.
- All fees once paid are non-refundable.
