Membership Information

Over the years, we have found that the camaraderie of the members is strengthened, when members work together to maintain and improve the club's facilities.  To accomplish much of the work that is required to make the club successful, work parties are held for the club opening in the Spring, the club closing in the Fall, and  during the winter months when work is done to replace or repair the docks, while the basin is frozen over.   Still other work parties are held occasionally to accomplish special needs that arise during the year.  This is an important part of being a member, and members are expected to be present at work parties.  Members should feel privileged to be able to participate, and enjoy the opportunity to work alongside the other members.

Some of the projects that members take a part in include the residing of the club house, the replacing of the docks, club opening and clean-up of the grounds in the spring, general clean-up and closing of the club in the fall and a variety of tasks that need to be done during the year.

The club is self governing by a executive committee made up of the club's flag officers and a board of trustees.  As members become more involved in the club's activities, they may wish to serve as an officer or trustee.

Regular "business" meetings are held monthly on the last Thursday of the month from January through October to conduct such business as might be needed during the course of the year to ensure that the club functions smoothly.  The "Annual Meeting" for the purpose of electing officers and presenting the budget for that years operations is held during the January meeting.  In November, an awards banquet is held to present present special recognition to members who have earned it in one form or another.  Members are expected to attend these meetings, and stay abreast of the club's goings on.

Regular business meetings are held at the club house during the sailing season.  Meetings are combined with a dinner that is organized and prepared by the clubs members.  As in other facets of the club, members contribute their talents to make the club one of the finest yacht clubs in North America
