How Do I Get a TLLRA Membership FAQs ?

---

In order to receive a membership, you must complete the TLLRA Membership Application Form available under the DOCUMENTS Section on the TLLRA Website and follow all of the instructions for submittal of the Application.

There are two (2) separate and independent Waiting Lists for Membership in the Association. The first Waiting List contains the roster of applicants that are current employees or retirees of the Homer City Station. The second Waiting List contains the roster of applicants from the General Public. For further information please see the Introduction section of the TLLRA Membership Application form.  

The Public Waiting List is capped at 25 people and the number of openings varies year-to-year based on the number of people who fail to renew their membership (since membership is capped at 275). When the Waiting List opens to the public, placement is granted on a first come, first serve basis based on the number of openings on the Waiting List. We will know how many openings are available on April 1, 2024, so if you are curious as to how many openings are on the Waiting List, please contact us at that time.

The Homer City Station Waiting List is for current and retired employees of Homer City Generating Station. If this applies to you, please contact the office at 724-397-2727 for details.

The Waiting List opens to the general public at 9:00 AM EST on April 17,2024. As mentioned above, placement is awarded to the first X people in line where X represents the number of openings on the Waiting List. Once all openings are filled, no further public Waiting List applications will be taken until the following year. There are no restrictions as to when you may begin waiting in line. People arrive very early.

The physical address of our office is at the office of Gandolfi & Gandolfi, CPA’s,  412 Main Street, Marion Center, PA 15759.  We are at the main intersection of Marion Center, caddy corner from the Marion Center branch of Marion Center Bank.

Yes. There is a one-time, non-refundable Application fee of $250. Payment of this fee and approval of your application will place you on the applicable Waiting List. This holds your place until you are offered a membership. This fee will not be applied towards the Annual Membership Dues when a membership is offered to you. In addition, you will have to complete the above-mentioned application that includes your contact information so that we can contact you when you are eligible to receive a membership. It is important to keep this information current with the office once you are on the List.

You may have any individual who is at least 18 years of age wait in your place to put your name on the Waiting List. This person must have the application fee and be able to complete the application for you. Only one application will be accepted per adult present.

The amount of time it takes from placement on the Waiting List to offering a membership varies from year-to-year, depending on the number of current members who decide not to renew their memberships.

Once all renewal applications are processed (April 1, 2024), the office will begin contacting people on the Waiting List based on how many memberships are open. You will receive both a phone call and a letter using the information on your application or any updates provided. The membership fee of $950 is due within 10 days from the date on which the membership was offered and letter mailed. If payment is not receivedat the business office by that date, your name is dropped from the Waiting List and you must pay the fee to be placed back on the List when an opening is available. The office then offers that membership to the next person in line until all available memberships are filled.

Membership cost is currently $950 each year, and must be received by the office by the last day of February of the calendar year in which the membership is valid (i.e., the fee for an active membership for the 2025 calendar year is due on the last day of February 2025 – Feb. 28). 

You will also be required to complete a full application each year as well as provide insurance information with documentation as Listed in the cover letter of the renewal packet. If you provide an email on your application, renewal packets will be sent via email, usually in December. All other communication will also be via email. If you do not provide an email, a packet will be mailed, usually in December. Once payment, completed application, and proper insurance verification is received, a sticker for the year will be mailed to you to be placed on your watercraft and your gate key will be made active. The sticker must be affixed to your water craft to be on the lake. Payment is all that is required by end of February to hold your membership, but full requirements must be met for the key to be activated and sticker mailed.

You can email your name, a statement that you are on the Waiting List, and your updated contact information to tllraboat@gmail.com. We will respond with confirmation of the changes when they have been complete. Alternatively, you may call our office at 724-397-2727, and we will update your application with your current contact information. If no one is available to take your call, please leave us a message on any of our mailboxes and we will return your call as soon as possible.
