MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS

It's spring and time to renew your CYC membership! 

Renewing is easy, simply go to the CYC website and log in. 

In the upper right hand corner, you will find your profile name - click on your name and this will take you to the member renewal page where you can review your information, update and select membership level.  (Remember, CYC is a registered 501(3)c and we depend on your support!)

Memberships must be fully paid and renewed (if applicable) to register for any sailing school program.

PLEASE take this time to review ALL of your information to ensure it is up to date.

SAILING SCHOOL REGISTRATION

Early-Bird pricing ends April 15th!

Take advantage and sign up for sailing school today.

You will need a fully paid FAMILY WITH CHILDREN membership for sailing school registration.

ADULT SAILING does not require a family membership, but your membership does need to be renewed for registration.

Log in to the website here, then click the message in the bottom right corner to renew your membership.  Alternatively, once logged in, you can click on your member name at the top of the screen.  Sailing school registration is available here or on the Sailing School menu.

COAST GUARD BOATING COURSE

We have invited the COAST GUARD AUXILIARY again this summer to offer a chance to earn your Boater Safety Certificate. 

Class will run for 2 consecutive nights (Tuesday July 21 & Wednesday July 22nd from 4-7pm).

Topics include Boating Law, Safety Equipment, Safe Operation and Navigation, Boating Emergencies, Trailering, Storing & Protecting your Boat, Sports and Boating.

For more information and to register

For those that can't make it, or prefer to obtain your certification earlier, there are great online courses that are informative and do fulfill the state requirements.

"These online versions of our Boater Safety education courses are self-paced and the same course content you’d find in our classrooms."

NEW VOLUNTEER PROCESS

Volunteer sign-ups moved to within our CYC website!

Our CYC activities and events depend on your vounteer efforts.  

There is a new VOLUNTEER CALENDAR page where you can view sign up opportunities.  Events are color coded for easy viewing and more volunteer shifts and needs are in the process of being added. 

Signing up is easy.  Simply visit the VOLUNTEER CALENDAR and select the event on the date of your choice.  This will take you to an event 'registration' page where you can learn more about the shift or needs.  Once you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email as well as reminder emails as your shift date nears.  (Parent-On-Duty sailing school parents, secure your favored spot now!)

Because these sign ups are structured within our "EVENTS" system (similar to RSVP's for social events) - you have the ability to view all registrations on your profile page.  These include Sailing School registrations, Social RSVP's and now Volunteer sign ups.  Amazing!

*Parent On Duty shifts and a few Social Committee opportunities are already on the Volunteer Calendar.  Other volunteer needs are forthcoming and notifications will be sent when those are available. Thank you in advance for your willingness to help out!

There's an app for that!

Wild Apricot (our web host) has a MEMBER APP AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD  On this app you can view our member directory, register for events, view your "tickets" (all events and registrations), add events to your device calendar, view and edit your profile - and likely more capabilities that we have not yet discovered!

As of yet, we do not have the ability to change the App 'album cover' and it remains the Wild Apricot orange logo.
