Leave of Absence Policy

Effective October 1, 2015
We understand that there are times when members may have the need
to temporarily suspend their Club membership.
 If this is the case, the membership should contact the Club Treasurer
to submit a Request for Leave of Absence.
  
  • Send written notice to the Club Treasurer with your request prior to the start of a new season.
     
  • Members may go on leave for two years. 
 
  • At the start of each year, a $50 Leave Fee will be collected by the Club Treasurer.
 
  • At the end of the two-year period, an extension may be granted with board approval for special circumstances.
 
  • On the third year of leave, the membership will terminate if no extension for special circumstance has been granted.
 
  • Members on Leave have no rights and are considered guests and will follow the Guest Policy guidelines.
 
  • Members on Leave are removed from the Hoist Wait List and relinquish their shore or mooring space.
 
  • If a member returns three to five years after leaving without a granted extension, one half of the Initiation Fee will be charged.
 
  • If a member returns five or more years after leaving, a full Initiation Fee will be charged.
 
  • Members who are officially on leave prior to October 1, 2015 are grandfathered in and the previous Leave Policy will be in effect for those members only.
