What about that bomb cyclone, eh? ?? Hope everyone has power back by now! It?s Thanksgiving season and club leadership (now a whopping *10 officers and a handful of position holders*!) would like to give our thanks to you, our TWO-HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE 2??3??5?? members, for being a part of our awesome sailing community. ??We have had the pleasure of getting to meet you at lessons, work parties, and the last General Meeting, and we hope to continue seeing you around in Winter so we can overcome the Seattle Freeze and Big SAD together! ????? Please join us at our next General Meeting, the second (and potentially last!!) of Autumn Quarter. Typically in these meetings, we recap recent club activities, update our members on the inner workings of the club, and vote on changes to our club documents, among other tasks. Each meeting is unique, just like how every day's wind is unique. Here are the particular details of Fall?s first general meeting. ? Date & Time: Wednesday December 4th, 7:30pm Location: Sieg Hall Room 232 Agenda: 1. Approval of 10/30 Meeting Minutes 2. Recap of Recent Activities 3. Discussion of By-laws proposals and voting on Policies amendment 4. Discussion and Approval of the 2025 WYC Budget 5. Appointments of Position Holders 6. Announcements Attached to this email are proposed amendments to our By-laws and Policies documents (the current versions of which can be found under the Club Documents & Forms section of our website). They reflect some of the cultural shifts, new conventions, and emergent needs of the club; our Policy proposals concern a dues increase we anticipate to be necessary. Otherwise attached is also the proposed 2025 budget, prepared by Treasurer Austin Vigesaa with input from WYC executives, which we will deliberate and vote to approve ahead of the upcoming fiscal year. ?? As always, if you have interests or strengths you would like to bring to the club, you may be appointed as a Position Holder at this upcoming meeting to help run our Club! Positions we would like to fill for the upcoming year include Recruitment Chair, Social Media Chair, Creative Director, SnC Chair (for Spring and Summer). Joining the leadership team of the Washington Yacht Club is a great way to get to know passionate people well, get leadership experience, and be a part of an incredible institution with 76 years of history at the Udub! If you are interested in a position, please DM Renee Chien on Discord so we know to appoint you! Feel free also to chat with any of us to learn more and get your questions answered. ? Thank you for your participation, sailors. We can?t do this without you and look forward to seeing you at our meeting! ?
