Membership Report

At the time of this writing, two new members are scheduled to be initiated into Queen City Yacht Club at the Jan 9th meeting. They are Capt. Ryan Garvie, son of Capt. Randy Garvie, also his sponsor, and Stephen D. Jones, sponsored by Commodore Bill McGillan. Congratulations! A warm QCYC welcome to both of you! Please plan on attending a future event or Friday Lunch soon and meet some the members of your new yacht club. Let's all keep a look out for these folks and show them around. Many thanks to the sponsors! There are now nineteen sponsor names eligible for the Lottery Drawing.

We have memberships open, and NO waiting! The current total is now 367 active members, 33 shy of our elusive goal. Keep the "heat-on" new prospects you may be talking to, and, we will do our best to get them into the membership process well before Opening Day and the start of the Summer season. Remember the number one reason people do not join organizations?
That's right, no-one asked them to!

We will be participating in a new opportunity to publicize the Club at the annual Seattle Boat Show.
The NMTA (Northwest Marine Trade Association) has offered free display space to set up brochures
in a mini booth at no charge to area Yacht Clubs. The display area is to be located upstairs at Qwest Field, in one of the lounge areas. We'll see how this works, and if a few new member prospects are identified, it will be well worth the nominal expense of handing out Club Brochures. Details are not finalized at this time, so more later...

Keep Recruting!
