Membership:

At our June Board of Director’s meeting, there were two first readings for membership. Brian Holdaway and Chrishna Martinez, sponsored by Danny Bennet was the first one. We also had Matthew Oliver, sponsored by Chris Kelly. Both sets of prospective members will be invited to the July meeting for a
second reading. If you would like to sponsor a new member, be sure to bring them out to some events so that everyone has a chance to meet them. Doing so speeds up the membership process.

5th Annual Cornhole Tournament

Start practicing and forming your team so that SWSC can once again win the trophy! This is our annual Cornhole Tournament against Village West Yacht Club, and the current record is SWSC -3, VWYC -1.

Memorial Weekend Update

Come help kick off another summer of fun on our island.  Your Board of Directors will provide dinner on Sunday afternoon at about 4:30 (island time of course).  Please note that this is not a potluck as usual, so all you have to do is let us know you are coming .  Please email Shawn Springer by Wed. May 26 and let him know how many are coming so we can purchase the right amount of food.  BYOB  and plan to play volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, and of course water ski or  wakeboard.      Shawnspringer3@gmail.com

 

Island Facilities and Equipment

Thank you to the some 25 members who came out last month and helped with island clean-up.  Due to poor weather we had to cancel the second weekend so there are still repairs that are needed.  We will post a list of “Things to do” on the back clubhouse door.  Please note that the use of the mowers and tractors is reserved for the Island Maintenance crew.  We are asking all members to check with a Board Member if you are in need of one of these.  We have also found the club house left in quite a mess a couple of times recently so be sure kids and adults leave it better than you found it.

 

Guests  

We love having members bring out guests to our island.  We are asking that on busy weekends and events that guests are side tied to the member boat so that our members have space to dock.  Your cooperation will be appreciated by all members.

New Member Rules & Regs

The Rules and Regs were recently modified (10/15) to read the following:
“A new member will be probationary for 12 months after date of joining and will not be eligible to sponsor a new member during this time.”

Sponsoring New Members

It is important for sponsors to help their new members by introducing them to other members, learning the Rules and Regs, as well as to being a model for and encouraging participation in club events as well as volunteering to help.

GUESTS

SWSC continues to welcome club members to bring guests to the island. Please be responsible for making sure that the Rules and Regs are followed. Guest may not use the island without the inviting member being present. Guest tents must be removed after each visit to leave room for paying members.

RING Found

Someone dropped a women’s ring under the shade trees near the beach on Labor Day weekend. If you are that person, please contact Linda at lkfish47@gmail.com with your name and description of the ring.

Memorial Day Weekend

The island is available for recreational purposes this weekend, but due to County Health regulations, we will not be holding our annual Potluck Dinner.  The club will provide charcoal for the grilling area for our members use.  It is important to note that social distancing should be observed outside of family groups on the docks, beaches, campsites and firepits.

Restrooms

The restrooms were sanitized and we ask members to sanitize areas you have used with the sanitizer provided.  Hand washing should be done with only the soap provided in the dispensers. We are on a septic system that can only handle the provided soap.

Life Jackets

Don’t forget we are collecting life jackets (Coast Guard approved) to donate to the Fire Department who loans them to people in need.  You can contact any board member if you have any to donate.

June and July Events

Your Board of Directors and Board of Trustees are monitoring the San Joaquin County Health Dept directives regarding Covid-19.  It is important for all of us to comply with their directives so that our island is not closed to us during this pandemic period.  Please stay tuned regarding events on our calendars as we will send updates as the restrictions are lifted.  We are so lucky to have this wonderful retreat!
