Membership Renewal Time

By on June 16, 2018 in Member Interest, Membership

All AYC members have now received an invoice for next year’s dues (or non-dues for Life and Honorary Life members) and the membership team hopes you’ll renew right away so we don’t have to send you the increasingly sad and pleading emails. The 2018-2019 dues are payable by July 1.

If you plan not to renew your membership (you know, if you’ve been transferred to Fargo or something), please tell us that too.

Life and Honorary Life members pay no dues, but we need you to update your contact information each year.

Here’s a shot of some of those longtime AYC members, gathered together when former Commodore Joyce Seale visited from her New Zealand home.

Join/Renew US Sailing and Get Sailing World Magazine

US Sailing wants you as a member and it’s offering two incentives for you to join. First, AYC gets a credit toward training materials. Second, you get a one-year subscription to either Sailing World or Cruising World magazine.

For you to get the bonus, you need to use this link. You’ll find a drop-down menu, select Arizona Yacht Club, and continue. The bonus is good for either a renewal or new membership in our national sailing organization. Deadline for signing is July 31.

Members who haven’t renewed yet for 2014-2015

By on August 23, 2014 in Membership

The club bylaws require that we post the names of people who haven’t renewed their memberships by now. AYC’s membership year runs from July 1 to June 30 and your dues are to be paid by the end of July. If you haven’t paid by October 1, you’re dropped from membership.

Before then, we’ll publish the roster and if you don’t pay, you’ll miss out on being listed.

Here are the full members who haven’t paid to renew AYC membership and are now delinquent.

And here are the junior members who haven’t paid to renew and are now delinquent: Spenser Branch, Madison Cordova, Kristian Doak, Luke Marino, and Andre Parmentier.

If you’re one of them, you may pay your dues from this link.

If you have any trouble renewing or if you don’t plan to renew your membership, please contact Mike Ferring.

Not too late yet to renew your AYC membership

By on August 27, 2012 in Membership

The renewal rate for AYC members is very good this year, but there are still a few of you who haven’t come through. If you haven’t renewed, here’s the link to do it.

The AYC bylaws require us to post delinquent members by mid-August and to drop them from membership at the end of September. So here’s the list of people who have not renewed. We are not posting the names of people who have told us they don’t intend to renew.

Bernie & Judie Armstrong, Marc & Anastasia Danner, Bill Dingwell, Bill Feil, Bill Hardy, Matthew & Thomas Jacobs, Charles Kaye, Travis Kenyon, Chalz & Wanjeri Kirubi, Rick & Lisa Lake, Larry Lowe, Kent & Sheri Maas, Luke Marino, Cooper Miller, Mary & Jeffrey Miller, Tara Odman, Katie Runnels, Steve Swanson, Ed Triebel, Richard Warren, Wieslaw & Grazyna Wojczak.

Renew Your AYC Membership Now

By on August 2, 2012 in Membership

Please renew your AYC membership right now by clicking on this link.

For the few people who haven’t renewed membership for the coming year, your dues are due. The club bylaws require us to post the names of delinquent members by August 15 and suspend all privileges at the end of August. More to the point, we’d like you to continue with us and we’d like to be sure to include your name in the club roster.

The link will take you to our new online registration system called RegOnline. We think you’ll find it easier to use (and it’s much easier to administer). One neat trick: We have a link on the racing page of the website that will show you all the people signed up for an event as they register.

Because of the new system, we’ll need you to re-enter some of your account information, such as your boats or your kids’ names and ages. When you first go to the site, it will ask to send you an email to confirm who you are. When you click on the link in the email, it will return you to the RegOnline site with basic address and phone number information already entered. Just finish it up, pay, and enjoy another year of AYC.

Your support of the club last year brought us some great stuff:

  1. Speakers, including Olympic Laser Radial Gold Medalist Anna Tunnicliffe, International Race Officer and America’s Cup Race Official Peter Reggio, World-Renowned Ocean Racer Peter Isler, North Sails Designer Garth Reynolds
  2. Five Race Series
  3. The Birthday Regatta/Leukemia Cup
  4. The Governor’s Cup Regatta
  5. The Tall Cactus
  6. The Party

Your membership renewal will help us have another great year!

Cheers,
Mike Ferring
Commodore
