The 2018 Year Book has gone to press and should be in the mail in 10 days or so. The production process went extremely well this year, with only a few growing pain delays. The book content was created using our new Content Management System for the first time. The Division Commanders, Jim Raper, Caroline Garrett, John Galloway and Mark Wensell, report the process of creating and editing the Event Sailing Instructions was easy and painless.
Our new Executive Secretary Donna Mason did a great job working on the Membership Roster and Yacht Register database. Her job is helped materially by the Member’s prompt return of the Member Data Sheets, which provide her information to keep the member database ...

We have received some constructive feedback to the newly circulated lease provision banning the use of space heaters at the yacht club docks. In light of that feedback, we have done some additional review and believe that the new lease restriction and related rules should be relaxed to address the concerns expressed by a number of slip holders.
Safety is our concern, but we recognize that each slip holder is ultimately responsible for the selection and proper use of equipment on board boats docked at the Club’s facilities. Accordingly, the Board has approved the adoption of a new Club Rule that will have the effect of nullifying the lease restriction on the use of space heaters and similar devices ...
Demolition of the old east dock is complete & the new floating dock is being assembled. Feel free to stop by the Club to see the progress but mind the muddy grounds and be careful to avoid the construction site, dock sections in slips, and the Dry Sail Lot staging area.
We will be replacing the bathhouse roof this Spring. Stay tuned for updates on these projects.

Demolition of the old east dock begins this week. The main sections of the new dock have been launched and are tied in slips while the finger piers are still stacked in the Dry Sail Lot. Feel free to stop by the Club to see the progress. Please be careful and avoid the East Dock construction site, dock sections in slips, and the Dry Sail Lot staging area.

The toilets have been replaced in the downstairs & upstairs bathrooms of the Clubhouse. Please conserve energy by keeping the Clubhouse doors shut.
Sections of the floating dock arrived last week and are stacked in the Dry Sail Lot. A set of nine trees encroaching on the bulkhead and drain field have been tagged with red ribbons will be cut in the next couple of weeks. Please be careful and avoid the East Dock construction site, the Dry Sail Lot staging area, and the trees tagged for removal.

All Jackson Creek slip holders will soon be receiving (or have received) their 2018 slip lease agreement. In a continuing effort to improve the quality of our operations and member experience, we have made some changes to the lease agreement.
The new lease will auto-renew and not need to be signed every year. Annual proof of insurance will still have to be submitted to the club.
You will also notice the use of space heaters on any boat is now prohibited.
Finally, the club now reserves the right to charge for electricity usage above and beyond a reasonable level. This change only applies to boats on the new east dock, which will have metered slips.
Winterization of the water system is complete. Water has been shut off to the Jackson Creek docks, the Fishing Bay pier, and the Bathhouse. The Bathhouse has been locked for the winter.
Sections of the floating dock are scheduled to arrive this week and will be unloaded by crane into Jackson Creek from the Dry Sail lot. A set of nine trees encroaching on the bulkhead and drain field will be cut this winter. These trees have red ribbons tied around them. Please be careful and avoid the East Dock construction site, the Dry Sail Lot staging area, and the trees tagged for removal.
