Availability Use of the Clubhouse is primarily for the scheduled activities of the Club. Use of the Clubhouse is also a significant benefit of Club membership and can promote appreciation of the Club among potential members and the community at large.
Members may host events at the Club when a responsible member is present and when all costs and liabilities are covered. The Club will not charge rent for such events although a donation is greatly appreciated. A fee for cleaning and other costs may be requested. An application form for use follows.
Use of the Club by boating or water-related organizations will be encouraged, e.g., U.S. Power Squadron, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, Master Naturalists, Turkey Shoot Regatta.

The Dockmaster may arrange additional Clubhouse access or services to make visitors' stay more enjoyable.
Use of the club by a substantial number of non-members, still requiring a member to sponsor, may require an ABC banquet license, a certificate of insurance and a security deposit. Events shall be approved and scheduled on the Club calendar by the Vice Commodore who shall make sure that insurance, zoning and ABC requirements are met. If in doubt as to the advisability of granting a request, or if the event does not include a substantial number of club members, the Vice Commodore shall submit the request to the Board for approval and determination of any security deposit required. Club members are encouraged to use their Clubhouse.
