Big thank you and project update

November 18, 2024

Members and Associates –

A big thank you for so many coming out and helping with putting ice eaters in marina. We were done a little over an hour and a half as everybody grouped up and tackled them all at the same time. I would say over 90% were those that already had at least one volunteer hour/event so truly members/associates not worrying about getting volunteer credit and just wanting to help the club. THANK YOU!

We think we captured everybody’s names, but if you feel we missed you please contact Teresa Smart.

We have started the winter projects. The electrical upgrade is in process and going well. The bulkhead repairs will start some time in December along with installing new security cameras. We did not vote on monies for the cameras at last meeting because already had the cameras from a previous vote and most if not all work with be done in-house. Costs so should not be that significant.

Thanks again for your help!!!

RENTAL POLICY

This is now the policy set forth by Membership for slip rentals for all members and associates.

1. You may have a total of 3 rental opportunities for the boating season.

2. If you have a rental during a regular weekend or during the week it can be up to two nights only. You must take your boat out following the rental agreement and slips will be checked for compliance. If your boat is not removed after your rental agreement has expired all future rental opportunities will be forfeited.

3. If you have a rental on a holiday weekend it can be up to 3 nights and again your boat must be removed following the expiration of your rental agreement.

4. There is a charge of $25 per night and this must be prepaid to Membership before you will be given a slip number. There are no refunds if you do not use the slip.

5. After your request Membership will contact you if a slip is available. If Membership tells you no slips are available that is final. There are less slips available this year than last year for rental as more members have chosen to use their slips. If you do not accept the Membership chairman's decision then you will forfeit all rental opportunities for the rest of the 2024 boating season.

Please be sure to notify club secretary, Dawn Fluman, of any address, phone number or email address changes ASAP in order to help with club communication to all of our members. We are trying to notify members via email of all communications to help reduce costs like paper, ink, envelopes and postage.

We will continue to send communication via USPS to those preferring that method. But either way, we need current updated information on all our members so be sure to notify Dawn of any changes via email

cmboatclub.secretary@gmail.com or 494 Blackbird Landing Road, Townsend, DE 19734.

Thank You.

Volunteers are needed all season long.
