Reader Howard Swain provided several very helpful links to help me in the application process. They include:
1) The Application Process and Documentation Requirements - from the Canadian Society of Mayflower Descendants website - http://csmd.org/?page_id=88:
2) Application Tips - from the Canadian Society of Mayflower Descendants website - http://csmd.org/?page_id=4:
3) How to Join or Apply for a Supplemental Line - from the California Mayflower Society website - http://www.mayflowersociety.com/HowToJoin.html:
4) The Preliminary Review Form from the California Mayflower Society website - http://www.mayflowersociety.com/downloads/Preliminary%20Review%20Form-CA%20Mayflower_r3.pdf:
Apparently, they expect the applicant to handwrite or type into the blanks.
I have briefly reviewed these websites and will start working on the Review Form. I hope they can read my handwriting!
This may be great genealogy fun...
Thank you, Howard, for helping me out here.

Massachusetts Mayflower Society has gone to a review form that can be filled out and submitted online. So much easier than the handwritten form! I finally submitted mine the other day. Although no longer live in MA, I hope to join that chapter. I do not plan to stay in my current state of residence, and I still consider Massachusetts my home.
I will continue to follow your progress, as I get my documents in order.
I submitted my application to the Massachusetts Mayflower Society a couple of weeks ago and have already heard back. I am now in the process obtaining records that the genealogist identified that I need to finish proving the line. The first 6 lines were already proven and the births of a couple of other people that came from prominent families have been proven for me also.
Even though I have lines that qualify for the Winthrop Society, and the Sons of the American Revolution (recently got accepted to SAR and have Winthrop application pending), I don't have any Mayflower connections on my tree. Well, there is one claimed connection to Thomas Rogers in an online tree, but a review of that line suggests (I think) that the tree online is wrong. Too bad they don't search your tree for you to find a good candidate. :) Fortunately, you don't have to worry about that.
