    Membership – December 2018

    February 5, 2019 - By 
    Our final new member in 2018 is a legacy member, Dennis Liesen Robertson who will be sailing a Hobie.  He is the son of our Harbormaster, Dennis and his lovely wife, Jenipher.  A big welcome to Dennis.
    Annual Dues statements will be put in the mail at the Nora Post Office on Sunday, February 3. Your dues statement  should  be in your mailbox within the following week.   It would be great if we could have a quick turn around on these so that they don’t get lost on your desk and so that I don’t get 100+ the last week of February.  Once again, the deadline for returning your check for your 2019 Dues and Slip Fees will be FEBRUARY 28, 2019.

    Membership – December 2018

    December 21, 2018 - By 
    We welcome two additional members:  Rauf Khalid of Indianapolis sailing a Catalina 22 and Waldemar and Stephanie Barske of Indianapolis also sailing a Catalina 22.  This brings our total of new members in 2018 to 17.  This is down from the 28 new members we had in 2017 and this is greatly due to the fact that we have been in ‘waiting list’ status for wet slips.
    Annual dues statements will be mailed the end of January.  Please let me know of any change of address so you will be sure to receive your statement.  Once again, the deadline for returning your 2019 dues will be FEBRUARY 28, 2019. With our current slip waiting list, insuring that your dues are on time is critical.
    Christy and I will continue to handle membership responsibilities during 2019 and we are looking forward to another great year at ECSC.

    Membership – October 2018

    October 6, 2018 - By 
    Welcome to three new members in the month of September.   Angela and Paul Wright of Greenwood who will be sailing a Catalina 22.  Jason Bewley from Indianapolis is a returning member and saiing a Wasach 13’.   Traci and Steven Bringle of Indianapolis who are sailing a Catalina 22.   This brings our total membership to 256.
    And an additional welcome to Rebecca and Kyle Winton who joined in April, but information was withheld because this was a surprise September wedding gift to Kyle from Rebecca.  They are from Greenwood and are sailing a Catalina 25.
    Remember that our AED unit is located on the outside east wall of the racing shed and will remain there and be available throughout the winter months.
    Do plan to come to our last two social events of the season.  On October 13th the Chili Cook-Off will begin at 5:30.  Bring a crock pot of chili or your favorite covered dish.  Then on November 3rd, plan to get a little more dressed up than our normal ECSC attire and come to Rick’s for our Final Bash.  Good food, good companionship and a nice way to end the season.  Reservations will be needed for the Final Bash and you’ll be getting more information on that soon.   If you need further information on these great events, please contact our social chairman, Vickie Greenough.
    It’s been a great sailing season.  We’ve added 14 new members to our ECSC sailing family during 2018 which is down from the 28 in 2017.  This, in part, is due to the fact that we do have a very substantial waiting list for wet slips.
