SYC Volunteers needed:
This year is a big year for SYC and regattas. In addition to our annual opening regatta, we are responsible to put on the Metro Area Regatta, which traditionally occurs on the Natal Day weekend. While we will be seeking our usual volunteer kitchen, race and support crews in the near future, we have an urgent need now to recruit people to help with planning for and recruiting sponsors. If you are able to give some time to help with this endeavor, please contact James Craig or let Pat know via club voice mail (469-8590) or in person.

Volunteers' Sign-in Book:
The volunteer sign-in book (in the club-house lobby) has been redesigned for your convenience, being now organized by name.  Now, it will be easier to log your time and efforts, which help determine who to allocate marinas to versus mooring field.  (This is how a self-help works!) If you find that your name is not in the book please let me know as soon as possible.

SYC Annual Membership Dues – New Option:
SYC has a new option for paying annual club membership dues for Regular and Ordinary members (administered by the Base NPF division. (We will work on getting this option available for Associate members for next season.)  Regular Members who provide their Service Number may use either a void cheque or the Aquittance role/Pay Allotment system.  Barb Churnside will be administering this new membership process, and will be contacting all Regular and Ordinary members to see if they are interested in using it.  The deadline to contact Barb is April 1st for the 2010 dues.
· Ordinary Members require a void check for monthly payments (CANNOT be automatically taken from pension cheques).
· Regular and Ordinary require a cheque to cover NSYA, Bar Levy, and Benevolent Funds.
· Membership information (Name, mailing and physical addresses, phone number).

New Members:
You might notice a quick message on the PSP screens that are around the base, including the one in SYC by the bar. It is the first of many ways to get our message out to expand our membership and is an invitation to the military members and their families to come out and try SYC. If you have any ideas, please let us know!

Newsletter and Website Content:
If you have something that you would like in the newsletter for the week (deadline Sunday), or on the website (asap), please let us know by simply responding to this email and we will endeavour to get it out to the SYC membership!.
