Club Policies

CLUB POLICIES

1. At a Board of Trustees meeting held on May 5, 1992, it was voted to adopt the following Club policy:
1. B.Y.O.B. at Club events be limited to beer and wine.
2. That Club and/or fleet provided alcohol shall be limited to no more than 1/2 keg of beer.
2. It has been a long-standing policy of the Club not to pay Club members for work they perform at the Club. The Club depends on volunteerism on the part of its members.
3. As discussed at the 1998 Fall meeting, the QYC Board wishes to provide the highest level of service to club members while encouraging members to support the club and to participate in its operation. Beginning in 1999, continuing club members are all charged a Service Deposit in advance to cover costs that are incurred by the club when club members cannot participate in volunteer activities.
   The Service Deposit will be reimbursed to club members who provide volunteer services to QYC. The reimbursement will be at the rate of $10 per full hour of volunteer activity. The volunteer time will be tracked using the “honor system”. A log will be maintained at the club for members to report their volunteer time. The log will include the date, time, hours of service, and a brief description of the service. The Service Deposit rebate will be made at the end of the season after closing day.
   The services are expected to include cleaning or maintaining the house and grounds; set up, take down, and storage of Club equipment; maintenance of club-owned boats; race committee duty; kitchen or social function operation. Providing help to the steward in the performance of steward duties will also be included during busy hours when the steward has a backlog of work. Running regattas where the participants include non-members is not included as a service to the club. A family of four that works for four hours will be allowed to record 4 hours of service.
