Please click the Register button to pay Hosting Amnesty Fee if you are unable to help host this season.
Or please email House Committee Chair Nancy Rowell nbrowell3@gmail.com to determine if there are events this season that still need hosting help.
This is each member's opportunity to fulfill your obligation and to pay your fair share of the cost so that the Club and the House Committee can supplement events with appetizers as needed.
The Amnesty fee is $100 per member or $200 per couple. Honorary and Ancient Mariner members are exempt from this request. New Club members since January 1, 2025, are not expected to participate in hosting or pay an Amnesty Hosting Fee this season.
The Fee can be paid by credit card by registering for this “Hosting Amnesty Event", enter the amount, and pay by credit card. The EC has voted that this is a reasonable charge as the cost of food for hosting has risen dramatically over the last few years.
We thank you if you have received this email and have already helped or committed to help this season or have self reported to the House Chair your need to pay a hosting Amnesty Fee! Members have provide fun and tasty appetizers at Stand Ups! .
About Hosting and the Hope Town Sailing Club
As a volunteer Club with a large participation from December through early April - we appreciate your support so that we can accommodate increased attendance at Stand Ups during this, our high season. We love to share the HTSC with members' guests!
Hosting a Stand Up is a long standing tradition of the Club. Typically, a member selects a date and signs up in the Club House. If a convenient hosting slot is not available, there are other opportunities to fulfill this obligation by assisting at special events such as the Christmas Dinner, Men/Women’s Luncheons, the picnic, etc. Simply contact the House Committee Chair, Nancy Rowell, for an assignment.
If you are a HTSC member on or near island and you are unable to host a Stand Up or assist at a special event during the season to meet your obligation, the Club collects an annual Hosting Amnesty Fee from members.
