2020 CYC MEMBERSHIP DUES AND MARINA SLIP FEES DUE APRIL 01, 2020. USE THE NEW CYC ONLINE STOREFRONT:

All fees associated with CYC membership and marina services for the 2020 season can now be paid through the CYC’s new online storefront. 
 
Members can select services online and pay for those services using a credit card (or cheque/e-transfer if paying the following day). Each member will be able to fill out and edit their own membership profiles. You will be asked to create an account with a username and password the first time you make a purchase. You will also need an email address to associate with your profile in case you forget your username or password.
 
We hope that all members will use the online storefront system. In this first transition year, members may alternatively use the old system by mailing their membership forms and making payment by paper cheque to the CYC's postal address or by e-transfer to finance@cyc.pe.ca. 

Members who have already paid their fees for 2020 and those opting to use the old methods in this transition year will be added to the online storefront database by CYC staff and expected to use the online storefront going forward. We will let those members know their account’s username and temporary password.

Advantages of the new storefront:
  • Automatically tracks services paid for by members. 
  • Members can view their purchase histories, obtain receipts and maintain their membership information.
  • Efficient operational and financial controls for our volunteers and staff.
  • Our staff can review in real-time what members paid for prior to launching their vessels.
  • Greatly simplified accounting. 
  • Up-to-date and easy to maintain membership contact list. 
  • Same system that CANSail uses for their services, making the system ideal for our Club. Similar storefronts are used by other yacht clubs and marinas in neighbouring Provinces.
Please access the new CYC storefront at https://charlottetownyachtclubmembership.checklick.com. 

CYC office staff can walk members through the system at the clubhouse should members need help during the season. If there are any questions don't hesitate to reach out to finance@cyc.pe.ca.
