Sponsored Associate is an adult so designated by a Sponsor who is a Member or a 
Licensed Associate.  Both Sponsor and Sponsored Associate must be currently 
residing on the Sponsor’s Covered Property....  The sponsorship must be 
declared by the Sponsor at a Community meeting and is effective immediately.
No more than two Sponsored Associates may be declared by a given Sponsor.
The sponsorship is not transferable and may be terminated by the Sponsor at any 
time with or without cause upon two weeks’ notice. A change of residence by the 
Sponsored Associate or the Sponsor automatically terminates the position of a 
Sponsored Associate.
