Out of Area: Any individual not residing in Palmetto Point, Bay Colony, Melwood Oaks, or Bayou Estates. Out of Area memberships are limited each year to 50. Current Out of Area members will have first rights for membership the first two weekends of posted sign-ups. The first two weekends of sign-ups could be in December so please make sure you check every year to see when the sign up will be. December sign-ups are decided on a yearly basis by the board and may not be offered every year. December is based on Board’s availability for those dates.
Benefits of Joining
There are several benefits to becoming a member of our organization. Use of the park, boat ramp, and meeting hall rental are some of the benefits. Our members are close friends and we have a great time when we get together. Of course we also have a common interest in boating and boat safety.
