December 2023
Thank you to all our dedicated members who continue to support La Playa Yacht Club. We sincerely value your dedication to our primary mission of maintaining our historic pier and enjoyment of boating.
We’re starting to use our new website, www.LaPlayaYachtClub.org for communications and paperwork. During the transition, watch both your email and the website for updates on the club. We are happy to announce that you’ll be able to pay your membership using Zelle this year, use your financial institution bill paying service, or mail in a check as in past years.
Your 2024 dues form and ballot are attached, and also available on the website. Please fill out your current information neatly, especially email addresses! As always, any additional donations you can make to our dock fund are greatly appreciated!
We need more members to step up and serve on the Board of Directors! A full board consists of nine positions, but the last few years we have been operating with only six. If you want to have a say in your club operations and have been a member for at least one year, please submit your name as a write-in vote on the ballot – and ask some friends to vote for you, too!
The proposed Board of Directors, for the fiscal year January 1- December 31, 2024 is as follows:
Commodore Mike Bixler
Vice-Commodore Open
Port Captain Frank Taliaferro
Secretary Open
Treasurer Jeff Riston
Director Ellen Ewing
Director Tracy Anderson
Director Rosemary Taugher
Director Chelsea Taugher-Dias
We had a busy year in 2023 with our Star Clippers Fundraisers to help build up our funds to replace our ramp and refurbish the pier railings and gate. These were fun social events, and raised about $5,500 from cruise giveaway ticket sales and dock donations, so we can begin work on the ramp replacement early next year. In the meantime, stop by some evening and enjoy our unique LPYC pier dressed with holiday lights!
Save the date of Friday January 26, 2024 for a Happy New Year and Member Welcome social event at the Point Loma Assembly, sponsored by the club and board. You can pick up your 2024 membership cards at the event. Watch the website for more details.
Enjoy the holidays, and we hope to see you all at the Assembly in January 2024!
