Definitions

1. (Gung-ho Group) one must sharply differentiate in giving out membership cards between the contributor of money or things and the action member, by always calling the money contributor an "associate" or "patron" and the time and effort contributor a "full member" or a "true group member" or an "active member" on the card. An active member should have a full credentials card with picture, thumb print and description. An associate just a name typed on a card. (HCO PL 3 Dec 68)

2. giving money or things to a group are both a form of participation and contribution. But while this is an important matter, it does not involve actual action. Thus a contributor of money or objects to a group is yet withholding himself and his time. One should seek contribution of money and things. But the status granted for this is that of patron or associate, not of a true member of the group. (HCO PL 3 Dec 68)

3. receives no discounts or services, pin and card only. (HCO PL 26 Oct 59)

4. a member without time limit of Scn. An associate member does not receive publications but does receive a pin and a membership card. (PAB 74)
