CYC relies on all members to volunteer to maintain our community culture, keep costs affordable and our children safe.The more you can do to help, the more fun. |
We ask that each family sign up for at least one Parent On Duty shift per child, at least one Regatta slot, at least two Race Day slots and at least one Social Volunteer slot. Want to learn more on how to sign up? Jump to HOW TO VOLUNTEER or VOLUNTEER QUESTIONS to for more information. Or contact: Liz McKneely for assistance. |
where we need your help:
PARENT ON DUTY:
Please sign up for at least one shift per child in sailing school over the summer. You will help with tasks around the clubhouse (organization and sanitation requests are outlined in a document on the CYC pinboard). Once complete, you are welcome to watch your sailor in action, read a book etc until pick up.
RACE DAYS:
Please sign up for at least two Race Day volunteer slots. Race Day volunteer needs include:
- Refreshments: Bringing and serving snacks after races including 4 bags of nut free salty snacks and 4 packages of nut free cookies.
- Race Patrol: Motorboat owners can help monitor the races every Tuesday and Saturday and at the CYC Regatta. It’s a great way to have a front row seat of the action while assuring the safety of our sailors.
- Race Dock Committee: Volunteers on Tuesday and Saturday register racers, set off the start for each of the classes and finish the racers.
- Race Scoring: Volunteers assist with series scoring.
REGATTA:
Please sign up for at least one Regatta donation/volunteer opportunity. CYC hosts one of the only free regattas on the Cape. In order to keep within budget, we rely on members contributing in some way. There are many small needs for the regatta including cases of bottled water, granola bars, watermelons, donuts, bagels, coffee etc as well as some bigger needs such as the traditional cake with the CYC Logo.
SOCIAL:
Please sign up for at least one social volunteer slot. CYC has many fun events over the course of the summer and volunteers are needed to help organize, set up, provide supplies and clean up. Events include the 4th of July Parade, the Strawberry Social, Commodore’s Cocktails, the Regatta Dinner and the Last Hurrah Cocktail Party.

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 (you can also use the menu tabs at the top to access) 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. |
