Vote on Yacht Club Facility -- Please Read

 

As discussed at the last Club meeting, the Club is negotiating with the Port of Hood River to lease the old maintenance building as the new HRYC clubhouse.  This is an important club decision, and as such the Board is going to hold a special election by mail-in ballot for the membership to approve the lease of the facility.  These ballots will be distributed by mail to all eligible club members starting on Wednesday April 2.

If you wish to vote on this important Club decision, please make sure:

  • You have paid your dues for 2008
  • Your physical club mailing address is up to date
  • You are a full member of the club

If you are not current on your dues by Tuesday April 1, you will not receive a ballot and will not be able to vote.  You can easily check your membership status on-line (log-in to the club website and click on the 'Profile' button next to your name in the upper right corner of the screen), or feel free to contact one of the club officers via e-mail or phone and we'll be glad to assist.

 

Thanks for your help and participation in this important club decision.  If you have any questions on this special ballot, please Contact the club officers by Tuesday April 1.
