Extended Family Membership Application

Marco Bay Yacht Club

Dear Prospective Extended Family Member,

Thank you for your interest in MARCO BAY YACHT CLUB! Please read the enclosed information carefully and submit your completed application along with a check for $200 to cover the initiation fee ($125) and this year’s annual dues ($75).   These fees are for an individual and would be doubled for a couple.  From July 1st to November 30th dues are 50% of annual dues. Your check will NOT be cashed until the Board meets and approves your membership. The Board meets on the second Tuesday of every month.

You can fill out this application in one of two ways:
1. Fill out the on-line form here (this is our preference) and click submit. Your sponsors will get notified regarding the follow-up.
2. Click HERE to download a PDF of the application form. Print out  and fill out the form. Then contact your sponsors or the membership chairperson to complete the application process.

We look forward to seeing you at future Club events.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Membership Chairperson,
Kate Lipkin   kpitonelipkin@gmail.com.

REQUIREMENTS:

The Extended Family Membership is intended for members in good standing who wish to have additional members of their family participate in ongoing club events.   This is open to immediate family members of the Primary Member including parents, children, or siblings.

Residency requirements follow those for members.  An extended family member does not need to have their own boat as long as the Primary Member has met vessel requirements.  If a boat is owned by an extended family member it cannot be used in club activities.  Standard membership would be required for those intending to use their own vessel.  An Extended Family Member will not have voting rights.  An Extended Family Member will be able to register for paid and unpaid events.  They can serve on committees and act as committee chairpersons.  They cannot serve as a Director or Bridge Member.

Thank you,
Linda Gagnon,
Commodore
