[WYC Announce] Full IMA membership now required for non-student members by UW Recreation

[WYC Commodore]

Hi everyone,

We are disappointed to inform you that the UW Recreation Department has
just told us that a full membership to the IMA will be required for
non-students to join the club and use the waterfront as part of club
activities starting this coming Fall quarter (next Wednesday). The option
to pay a $50 Waterfront Access Fee only has been discontinued by
Recreation. We deeply apologize for this change outside of our control, and
we hope that this will not negatively impact your interest in continuing to
stay involved with the club.

If you are a non-student who has already paid for membership beyond this
current Summer quarter, please contact
programdirector at washingtonyachtclub.org to help you resolve this issue.In
order to satisfy this new requirement, we will refund you the $50
Waterfront Access Fee payment per quarter remaining on you club membership,
and you will need to sign up for a full IMA membership directly through
Recreation (https://www.washington.edu/ima/member/). Please send proof of
your IMA membership to reactivate your membership, or let us know if you
need help trying to find a UW student or employee to help you sign up for a
"Plus One" membership.

If you are unable to satisfy this new requirement, we will refund you any
club membership dues and Waterfront Access Fee payments for the quarters
remaining on your club membership.

Again, we are very sorry about this change in policy from UW Recreation,
but please let us know how you would like to proceed.

Thanks,
Anthony and Peter
