QUESTION ANSWER
How do I join the club? Go to the Dropdown menu at the top of almost every page.  Under the heading 'CONTACT US' look for 'JOIN THE CLUB'.  Carefully read all the instructions.  Take note of the residency requirements.  Read the liability wavier and understand that you are accepting these terms by paying your fees.  Credit Card payment is preferred, but you also can print an application and send it in with a check.
Why does the Cub require the waiver? The Lawyers made us do it.  Fishing and boating are inherently risky activities.  There are many liability issues.  This protects you and all the Club members.
Is there an Initiation fee to join the club? Yes, the Board Of Directors sets the one time amount.  In 2021 that amount was $25 in addition to the first years dues for a total of ($40 + $25 = $65).  The application will indicate the current amount.
When can I join the Club The club is open to new members all year.  The fees are not prorated.  For example, if you join between January and August (inclusive) the fee to join will be (annual dues + initiation fee). 
If, however, you join from Sept 1st to December 31st in the current year your fees will cover the last 4 months of the current year and ALL of the following year (up to 16 months!)  In this case you will not be expected to pay dues during the Nov-Dec dues cycle the year you joined.
When do I pay my annual dues? Dues collection for all members on role up thru Aug 31st takes place during the 2 month period from Nov 1st to December 31st each year.  If you fail to pay your dues by the first General Meeting in January of the following year you will dropped from the club.  After that it may be possible to rejoin the Club as a new member, subject to all fees and residency requirements. (See special case above for new members in the FAQ 'When can I join the Club')
How much are the dues? The Board of Directors sets the annual dues amount.  Go to the Dropdown menu at the top of almost every page during the dues collection interval (Nov-Dec).  Under the heading 'CONTACT US' look for 'PAY MY DUES' and you will find the current details.  For reference, club dues for 2021 were $40.
How do I navigate the Website? Nearly every webpage in our site has a row of buttons across the top of the page.  These are called dropdown menus.  Click on any one of them and you will see a list of webpages related to that category.  Then click on the webpage of your choice.
How do I contact the Club? Use the dropdown menus on almost any page and click on the 'CONTACT US' button.  You will see a list of the many ways to interact with the club.  Choose the one that best suits your need.
