FWYC Letter Log March 2019 | Page 19

Letter Log March 2019 30° 25.60’N 86° 35.58’W Membership Committee Report The Wine Tasting Event was a huge success and has sparked conversation between non-members and FWYC members about joining our club. Retention of members, new and not so new, has always been an issue. Many members join, become active and stay a lifetime. The members who do not find a niche at FWYC often end up leaving. Our Membership Committee is reviewing ideas to help retain members of all ages and all interests. If you have suggestions, please email [email protected]. Just a friendly reminder that the Board “turned on” our Trial Membership . This membership category offers a preview of our club for up to three months. The Trial Member pays dues and minimums and it gives them the opportunity to see firsthand if FWYC is the amazing Club that they’ve heard about. They may also keep a boat at our docks. This membership category will only be available for a few more months and is a onetime opportunity to non-members. Another reminder is that our Board of Directors meets on the third Tuesday of each month. All applications should be in the Office no later than the Friday before the Board Meetings. 19
