Membership Information

Next membership meeting:
Wednesday, July 12, 2017

A Membership Meeting will be held each second Wednesday of the month, March through November. New members orientation is at 6:45 pm, followed by a general membership meeting and acceptance of new members. Please bring your completed application form and money to this meeting.

Anyone 21 years of age is eligible for membership, with preference given to residents of the Town of Ossining. All new members are encouraged to become working members, to maintain, build, and improve the club and its building and grounds. The resulting camaraderie allows members to enjoy boating in a friendly and open environment. Those who, due to extenuating circumstances, are unable to do work hours may request an alternate type of membership.

A Working Member is entitled to full club privileges, including either a mooring space or kayak rack space if available, a club locker (if available), use of club facilities, and eligibility for rental  privileges of winter boat storage and the social hall. Work hour requirements include 30 regular work hours (half of which must be completed before opening day), and cleaning duty during one week of the year. A member's spouse and children under 21 are included in the membership.
