MEMBER SERVICE REQUIREMENT REMINDER

At the CSC Annual Business Meeting held on January 15th, 2004 at Royal Oaks Country Club, a By-Laws addition was approved that encourages involvement by all club members in club activities. As an all volunteer organization, without any paid staff, we depend entirely on our membership to keep the club afloat and functioning. The By-Laws change defines a minimum service requirement that has been set at 8 hours for 2004 and applies to each regular and associate membership. This requirement may be fulfilled by the member, or the member's spouse or dependents.

To assist the membership in fulfilling this requirement, projects, such as helping with Spruce-Up Day, special club regattas or social events, cleanup or special construction tasks, will be identified in our club newsletter, The Mainsheet. In addition, a new Help Wanted forum will be added to our website where requests for assistance may be posted.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE LAKE

The White Rock Lake Museum’s grand opening was Saturday, September 18, 2004. The museum is located inside the Bath House Cultural Center. Visitors can tour the museum, learn about the human and natural history of the lake and park, and view the documentary-style video and artwork by White Rock Lake area artists. For The Love Of The Lake is the underwriter for the White Rock Lake Museum.

The Second Saturday Shoreline Spruce-up is on going! Thousands of volunteers have been helping to keep White Rock Lake’s shoreline, park, and lake clean for more than100 consecutive months. The Corinthian Sailing Club is one of 44 groups who have adopted a portion of the shoreline and park to reduce the litter and make White Rock Lake safe and enjoyable for everyone.
