Here are some club announcements to help you anticipate 2025 with the WYC. Renew Your Membership For 2025! Please renew your membership to continue sailing with us during the Winter Quarter! During our 12/4 General Meeting minutes, Club members voted to increase our dues to $60/qtr for students and $100/qtr for associate members, with discounts for yearly memberships. We hope you will not let the cost of membership deter you from rejoining us. The increase in dues will go towards boat maintenance and operating costs to ensure that we can continue to deliver a quality sailing club experience for our members. A Look Ahead We?re planning a lot for the Winter Quarter, but here?s a sneak peek for the first couple weeks of January: - Merch Call-For-Designs closing Monday, Jan 6th at 7:30 pm! Have ideas for merch? Submit them to our Merch Competition form for a chance at getting your designs onto future WYC merchandise! Winners will get a free piece of merch that you helped create! - Dinghy Skipper Written Test Session on Wednesday, Jan 8th from 6?7:30pm If you?re feeling ready to take the Dinghy Skipper Written Test (read: having Single-/Double-Handed Intermediate strongly recommended), come sit in for a proctored test to complete your Skipper Rating! Note: this test is required for the Keelboat Novice rating, so ?24 KB Novice Cohort pull up! - General Meeting on Wednesday, Jan 15th from 6?7:30pm Come by the General Meeting to hear what the club will be up to for the Winter Quarter! We will propose some legislative changes, vote on merch designs for production, provide updates on Ithaka, and announce more club socials and work parties. Want to Support Us? An email we sent out earlier this week didn?t seem to be forwarded to everyone on our mailing list, so here it is again. ------------------------------ Subject: ?This Christmas, Give The Gift Of Sailing At The WYC! ? Dear Friends of WYC, The holiday season is upon us! And what a year it has been. We provided sailing to 235 club members this Fall Quarter and have also introduced 438 newcomers to the UW to Union Bay during our Dawg Daze Open House. We found out the Dock Renovations project has been delayed 1?3 years, and are eager for more seasons of sailing on the Bay, Lake Washington, and the Sound. For our fairweathered sailors, the warm season may be over, but at the WYC we?ve pulled out the wetsuits and foulies and are anticipating an exciting Winter season. This Christmas, the Washington Yacht Club leadership is on a mission to bring the joy of sailing to low-income students at Udub! Our plan for need-based club dues exemption will only be possible with your support, and your generosity will make a real difference in lowering students? barrier of entry to the sailing scene. Here?s how your monetary contribution can help our Club: - $30 can provide the resources for a free dingy lesson for one passionate student. - $60 opens the door to a whole academic quarter?s worth of participation. - $100 can support the yearlong maintenance of one boat, ensuring every student gets a safe ride. (Let us know if you want to choose which boat to adopt!) - You may also contribute any dollar amount to our New Boat Fund, Instructors Gratitude Fund, Social Events Fund etc. to take care of the clubs? many goals for 2025! No contribution is too small, and every gift helps us get closer to our goal of lowering club fees for 20 students. You can make your tax-deductible donation by: 1. Visiting our Square Store: https://washington-yacht-club.square.site/ 2. Sending a check to: Washington Yacht Club Box 352238, SAO 235 Seattle, WA 98195-2238 This Christmas, let us come together to introduce more students to the world of sailing. Your support means the world to us and is positively impactful to the students whose lives you?ll touch. It also takes a lot more than just money to run the WYC and we are always looking for more people to help out.
