Jeff, I am not in Rhode Island but I think as far as becoming incorporated you would want to start with the following link and I would assume you need to start with the Articles of Incorporation. That should list all of the requirements and the process you need to follow. Usually you have to have a Board of Directors and a set of By-laws. But each state is different.

Most of the clubs are 501c7-at least my club in NH is. I know in NH we also had to call the IRS and get an Employee Identification Number. Something I didn't know was that EIN expires every five years unless you renew it, although when/if the new laws take effect where non-profits have to file annually with the IRS-the expiration probably won't be an issue. Previously we only had to file with the state of NH and never had to do anything with the IRS so I didn't even know our # had expired until I called a few months ago to ask a few questions.

You'll also need that Tax ID number to open up a bank account for the club

Hit the IRS first for the Tax ID number then the State for incorpioration as a Non-profit. Then open a bank account in the name of your non-porfit. Citizens bank has a checking account for non-porfits with no fee. They seem to work out for the NEA4WDC.
