A former member who wishes to '''Return to Membership''' in The Augustan Society, Inc., after an absence of more than one year must follow a different procedure than a new member joining for the first timeor a late renewal (within one year).
A new petition is required, and while a regular petition will be accepted, it is preferred that a Petition for Return to Membership be used. This may be completed by [[Headquarters Staff]] when they feel it appropriate.

<li>The Assistant Secretary will assign a new [[Membership Number]] through the web site. If absent less than a year, the old number may be used.</li>
<li>The Assistant Secretary will add the date returned (the date of the Board meeting where elected) to the Membership Book and Roster, unless the membership lapse was less than one year, in which case the original join date is preserved.</li>
<li>Headquarters Staff will create a new Membership Card if requested.</li>
