    Membership May 2018

    May 7, 2018 - By 
    Welcome to new members Bobby and Helen Small of Indianapolis, sailing a Hunter 23.  They are former members who are now returning!!  This makes a total of 5 new members since 1/1/18.
    Our first New Member Orientation will be on Sunday, June 24 1:00 in the upper shelter house.  This is a chance for new members to learn more about the club and ask any questions they may have.  Also a chance for any prospective members to come and learn.
    The 2018 Membership Booklet is at the printers and will be mailed directly to you.  You should  receive it around May 11th.
    Remember our AED unit is located on the front wall of the racing shed and is available at all times.  There are several good tutorials on online if you want to learn more about the use of an AED.  Our unit has a screen and voice instructions that walks you through the whole process and shows on the screen where electrodes are to be placed, etc.

    Membership – March 2018

    March 5, 2018 - By 
    Welcome to two new members in 2018. 
    David and Sandy Berry of Indianapolis, sailing a Catalina 22.
    Andy and Margie Cockshott along with Iain, Jenny and Peter from Indianapolis sailing a Precision 18.
    Most of you have sent in your annual dues and slip fees for 2018.  Decals, keys if requested, and new labels for the back of your membership cards have been mailed out to you.  If you don’t receive those within 7-10 days, please notify Jane at 317-575-0937.
    The Harbormaster will have all of your requests in his hands by 3/13 and will then begin the process of assigning slips for 2018.  Results will be posted online and at the club, hopefully by early April.
    Please note on the label for the your membership card that Eagle Creek Sailing Club is a member of three organizations: 
    Inter-Lake Yachting Association, Yachting Club of America and U.S. Sailing.
    Our club pays an annual fee for these memberships which then allows each of us reciprocal privileges at other member clubs throughout the US.  For example, I-LYA has 45 clubs, YCA has over 700 clubs across America and U.S. Sailing is the national governing body for the sport of sailing with its mission to provide leadership for the sport of sailing in the US and it can provide a great deal of support to our club and individual members.
    Also please note that those labels (about 70) that were mailed prior to 2/15 were incomplete in that YCA was not listed. We have corrected labels for you and will see that you receive them.
    Our AED unit has remained in it’s location on the east side of the racing shed.  We have monitored the status of the battery throughout the winter months and everything remains operational.
