Policy Change
Dear Fellow Erie Yacht Club Members,

At the Annual Meeting on November 18, 2016, the members present passed a By-Laws Resolution that affects how and when our dues and monthly charges are payable. This Resolution affects several important things of which you should be aware.

First, it introduces a new 3 Payment Plan option for dues and assessments while retaining the current options of the one and two installment plan. Selecting the 1, 2 or 3 installment payment plan will be the member's choice and there is no cost or fee for selection of any of the three payment options. Since this change will take effect in 2018 and requires you to select which payment option you prefer, there will be more information coming to you later in 2017.

Two other important changes in this resolution were the change in service fee date for all dues and monthly Club charges and the shortening of the collection period by 1 month. All payments for dues and Club charges are due by the last day the month in which they are billed. There is no longer a 15-day grace period for payments and suspensions and expulsions now will occur 1 month sooner than in the past.

Under our previous policy all dues and monthly charges were payable by the end of the month but the Club allowed for a 15-day grace period before a late fee of $25.00 was imposed. The new policy does not allow for the 15-grace period. The $25 fee will now be applied the morning after the due date.

To give an example: your November statement which came out on December 1st with your dues and monthly charges is payable upon receipt and due no later than December 31st. If the bill is not paid by the morning of January 1st a $25 service fee will be assessed. If unpaid on the morning of February 1st a $50 fine and suspension from the Club would occur. If still unpaid on March 1st the member would be expelled from the Club for non-payment of charges.

So please plan to pay both your charges and dues by December 31st and your charges by the end of each month going forward to avoid a $25 fine.

Best Regards and Happy Holidays.
Karen Carns
Secretary-Treasurer

Matt Steger, (Top) 
Joe Krososki, Matt Shuster (bottom)
As we reported in August, Zack Brooks our Dining Services Manager and Ryan Wilson, Sous Chef have left the Club for other opportunities. After many discussions with other Club managers and a number of interviews we are happy to report that we have filled those positions from within our own staff.

Matthew Steger has been promoted to Dining Services Manager and started his new journey with us on Wednesday November 30th. His responsibilities while many, will primary be supervising the Catering departments events, supervising the Grill Room operations and maintain the Club marketing and advertising activities which include social media. Matthew, has not only showed himself to be an excellent employee but has years of experience in restaurants and private clubs.

I am also happy to report that as of November 9th we have promoted Joseph Krowsoski and Matthew Schuster to Kitchen Managers. Both Matt and Joe have extensive experience in food preparation and have shown themselves to be long term dedicated members of the Erie Yacht Club Galley staff.

Both Matt and Joe will assist Chef Dan and will be responsible for the Galley operations as well as purchasing and inventory control. Other areas included menu planning as well as monthly and weekly special development.

It goes without saying, that I am excited to have all three of these gentlemen on our staff and even more delighted to have them a part of my management team. Join me in celebrating the promotion of Matthew, Joseph and Matthew, congratulate them and wish them well in their new responsibilities

Thank you,
Michael C. Lynch
