A reminder: As we approved at last year’s AGM, Beach Dues are increasing this summer. It was decided that we need a “Capital Reserve” for the ongoing upkeep of our property, including the clubhouse, raft, and wharves. This will give us $1500.00 per year for maintenance and repairs. The increase is $25.00 across the board. Direct deposit can be paid through your bank to: treasurer@kilkennybayassociation.org.
| Family membership – with children under age 17 | $225.00 |
| Couple membership | $205.00 |
| Single membership | $175.00 |
| **Honorary Membership to all members over 65** | |
| *** Donations are always appreciated *** |
See L.J. on the beach just about any day after June 2nd or at 654 Chemin de Kilkenny.
*** Visitors or guests who use our facilities for more than 8 days throughout the summer are also subject to the above dues. Note: Days will be revised this summer at the General Membership Meeting.
Please direct deposit your fees as soon as possible to: treasurer@kilkennybayassociation.org
In closing, we would again like to thank ALL the volunteers from the summer of 2022 and welcome our new members. We hope everyone will be back this summer and join in all the fun.
Have a GREAT SUMMER,
YOUR Board of Directors.
PS: If you know of anyone who might not have given Louise their e-mail address, PLEASE forward this message to them so they can also enjoy the summer fun.
See you on the beach.
