HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER
To become a member of the Ormond Yacht Club an applicant must be sponsored by a current member, complete an application, and pay one year of annual dues along with submission of the application, subject to return if the application is denied. The annual dues are currently set at $250.00. Applicants must receive the affirmative vote of a minimum of 2/3s of the members in attendance at the meeting when the applicant is considered for membership.
The primary mission of the Ormond Yacht Club is preservation of the iconic clubhouse building, built in 1910, and the history of the Club, for future generations. It is a costly and time-consuming endeavor to preserve a wood framed two story building sitting on pilings over the brackish Halifax River, reached by a lengthy walkway over the River, and greatly exposed to winds. Storm damage, great and small, has been repaired many times over the more than 11 decades since the clubhouse was built.
Accordingly, it is imperative that members have a genuine, and serious, dedication to the cause. The Ormond Yacht Club. seeks members who are passionate about the history of Ormond Beach, and particularly the Ormond Yacht Club, its clubhouse and history, and have talents they are willing and able to share in a meaningful way in harmony with the other members. Part of the membership application process is devoted to exploring the level of interest of the applicant to preservation of the clubhouse and the history of the Club and the background and abilities the applicant has which might be helpful in that regard.
