BCYC HELPING SAVE THE BAY At its May 15th meeting, the BCYC Board of Governors decided to contribute to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) by matching CBF contributions from BCYC members. Any BCYC member who contributes to CBF before July 4th will have their contribution matched up to $50 per membership by money from the BCYC treasury. Here’s how to make this happen. 1) Make out a contribution check to Chesapeake Bay Foundation for any amount you wish. 2) Send your check to BCYC Contribution Drive, Mary Bowie, Treasurer, 1501 Crystal Drive #732, Arlington, VA 22202 3) Mary will collect all the checks through July 4, 2010. 4) After July 4, a BCYC check for the total matching amount will be added to the collection of checks and the entire package will be presented to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. 5) All BCYC contributors will be personally acknowledged by CBF and will receive a one-year membership if not yet CBF members. Not only will this effort assist CBF in its efforts to improve our beloved Bay, but BCYC will be taking the lead among Chesapeake Bay yacht clubs in encouraging their members to contribute. We are hoping the effort will spread to other clubs, and that BCYC will be recognized as a leader in this cause.
