MARCO SPORTFISHING CLUB

**** A MESSAGE FROM THE MSC WEBMASTER ****

At long-last a member has stepped forward to take over managing & running the Club Website that I created in 2006 and have managed ever since.
After nearly 2 decades of providing support, I'm tired and need to get on with the few quality years I have left.
Leading this much appreciated action is our new Vice President, Tom Obermeier.
You can contact Tom at:
tomo7667@bellsouth.net

It's my expectation that we will recreate the website on a new and better platform, while maintaining all of the essential functionality of the current website.  Be patient, as there will be a transitional period that you may find confusing or stressful at times, but we need to move forward.
The team is developing an analysis of the functionality currently provided, with the intent of insuring that the new platform meets the needs of the club at a reasonable cost.
You can click here to see the progress of their analysis.  Please direct all suggestions, questions or issues to Tom.

***  IMPORTANT ALERTS  ***
August 2023
Liability Waiver
                   The Club has a new Liability Waiver
Our Lawyer and our Insurance Broker have worked with us to improve the liability waiver that we have been using.  Some of you may have already signed an earlier version this summer that had an expiration date of Dec 2024 at the top. That version has the same text and provides the same coverage for the Club and our Members.  Follow this link to see if you (and optionally, your spouse) have already signed. If so there's nothing for you to do at this time.  We will remind you in late 2024 to sign the Current Waiver that no longer has an expiration date.  The Club & Members will be covered by this waiver for as long as you are a member.
A signed waiver is required by each person who attends any event sponsored by the club.  The event organizer will be checking the List to make sure we have a waiver on file for each person.  You may be able to sign a waiver at check-in or at the Captains meeting, but it is best to do it in advance.  Guests will also be required to sign a waiver. Follow this link to find out more about Guest Waiver requirements.
