As of today, there are 16 'member-only' geocaches in SLAGA
territory.

What is 'member-only'? This is a desigation set on a cache by
the cache owner, allowed by geocaching.com.  If you don't
pay your annual dues to become of Premium Member of
 geocaching.com, you won't see any 'member-only' caches when
you do a search by zip code.  Keep in mind that is is NOT a
restriction that has anything to do with SLAGA and is not
tied to annual SLAGA membership dues.

Here is the geocaching.com explanation:

Member Only Caches
Some caches are only available to Premium Members. This
has been a request of many geocachers who want to put
more energy into designing a cache for dedicated geocachers.
As the cache owner, you can make any of your caches
"subscriber only" so folks will need a subscription to seek
it out. (Note: Member Only caches may not be any better
than public geocaches. Each cache is managed by its cache
owner.) 


What is SLAGA Territory?  An arbitrary designation set 
years ago that encompasses a scope of caches around the
St. Louis area where most of the SLAGA membership does
their cache hiding and hunting.  Find out the details here:
