LIYC Opinion Poll 2010

Your LIYC Board is considering adding to or modifying a major club event on our calendar. This event would be a “Commodore’s Ball”, where the outgoing Commodore and Board would be honored and the incoming Officers introduced. It would be another opportunity for our non-boating members to be included socially in a major club event. Many yacht clubs throughout the country have a similar annual event.
In the second part of the survey, we’re soliciting your suggestions for our cruising destinations for 2010. Your input will guide our decisions for the coming year. Please help by completing the survey and returning the mail in form or completing it online at our website:
2010 Membership Dues
It's that time of year folks. Annual membership dues are now due. Click here for the 2010 Membership Renewal Form. Don't forget to update your contact information. A suggestion for those who plan on cruising with other club members this summer...consider adding your cell phones to the roster information. When we are in a different port, often we are not close to our boat radios when a member is trying to reach us. The marina just may be big enough so that it is difficult to locate where in the port the rest of the fleet is. Sometimes cell phones are the best way to contact members.
The member roster is currently being updated. If you have any changes, corrections, additions you would like to add, i.e., new email address or a cell phone, now is the time to get those changes included in the booklet. Email Judy for member contact changes.
You are encouraged to purchase the insert updates for your member booklet. They're only $6.00 and come in handy when you're cruising or trying to reach a club member. Order by sending a check to: Lopez Island Yacht Club, P O Box 22, Lopez Island, WA 98261
