Thank you for all of the membership support last year!!! We would like to invite everyone to renew their membership for 2024  --> join here

CLUB UPDATES...

We worked really hard last year to get the requirements for the insurance reinstated but were turned down several times. We finally received the official review of the 2023 application in September and were working through some questions regarding the requirements. After hitting some dead ends trying to reduce the requirements, we all took a much needed break for December and January.

but we've been back at it... here's a snapshot of where we are now...

ANNUAL MEETING/ELECTIONS - we'll send a date notification soon. Shooting for early April
