Membership

No. The Renovations are scheduled to start after the summer of 2023 and be completed before the summer of 2024.

The FYC Board of Governors formed a Clubhouse Renovation Committee to evaluate various options and manage the execution of the project. This is all being done with regular input and supervision from the Flag Officers and the BOG.

The main components of the Project are Expanding the Bar area, renovating the Dining Room, enlarging & updating the kitchen and enhancing the Capital Reserve Fund.

While a few seats in the dining room are being removed, seats are being added to the bar area so the total number of seats in the club is not changing. The current kitchen is not equipped to serve the demand of our members regardless of which room or deck they seated.

Members’ dues and fees cover the annual operating expenses of the club, but do not provide the additional resources for any capital projects beyond small repairs. Larger capital projects can only be funded through an assessment or taking on debt. The FYC does not have surplus cash flow to fund additional debt, so an assessment is the logical alternative.

Members may make quarterly payments and take up to three years to pay the assessment. However, if you are able to pay your assessment all at once, please do so. This will enable the Club to give additional time to our members that need it.

No. Different membership categories will pay the same ratios that we pay in annual dues.
