Committees - The member committee system is one of the keys of CRYC's success. These standing committees cover all aspects of the Club, including: Building and Grounds, bylaws, Communications (the Log, the Roster and the website) Decorating, Entertainment (parties), Finance, House (rules and regulations, menu, Club hours, etc.), Insurance, Legal, Membership, Nominating,  Salary, Wage & Personnel Policy, Welcome aboard and Yachting. In addition, there are other committees that oversee bowling, bridge, bocce, bingo, cruises, and music.

Generally, membership on most committees is controlled or heavily influenced by the (incoming) Commodore. Committees usually begin forming throughout the fall and are finalized during January.

If you have a special interest in or talent for an area covered by one or more of the committees, make your interest known to people on that committee, especially the chairperson, as well as the Rear Commodore.

Volunteering - One of the best ways to meet people at CRYC is to get involved. There are many opportunities to help the Club even if you're not on a standing or other committee. The three organizations - Auxiliary, Anc'Hers, and Captains' Club - all have numerous chances to assist in a variety of ways. Occasionally during the year, special interest committees are formed to explore limited issues so you might have the chance to serve on one of these.
