There were, unfortunately, no candidates who volunteered to join the Board this year, so you will not see an email on Sep 5 to vote for a slate. The current Board members have all agreed to continue serving the Club’s membership. Your support through volunteerism is always appreciated!

The Holiday luncheon on Dec 11 , 2023 at Micheal’s Restaurant at Shoreline is now open for bookings.

As of September 1st, Renewal is open for all members.

Follow the directions on the Homepage, and don’t forget to check the Expiry date of your membership on the Right of your Screen.

We will not send a reminder for members who paid in advance and already paid for FY 23/24.  Thanks to you for being early renewers.

If you renew again it will count toward your payment for the following year.

Renew no later than Oct 31, so you can:
– maintain continuous newsletter email notifications of when a new issue is posted online (or a print version is mailed to your home if you chose that membership option)
– be able to participate in our activities, like the Dec 11 Holiday Luncheon
– receive the print Member Directory in February if you opted to receive one.

Thanks to all members. Please renew early so we don’t need to send so many reminders
