Last fall the board surprised CYC members with a master plan to remodel the entire Club. Ensuing discussions raised many questions — Why is this necessary? How will it be paid for? Do members have a voice in this?

Other information turned up which led to more questions—Why has CYC dining lost nearly a million dollars in the last three years, and could lose $400,000 this year? How much does CYC earn from outside events and from catering company?

The Flag had refused to answer questions about finances, especially those involving the catering company. We believe a time-out is necessary—a halt to any major work—until finances are clearly presented to the Membership.

This petition, put forward by Staff Commodores John Colver, Peter Hogg, Ron Kell and Jeff McQueen calls for a special meeting to ask the Flag & Board to present financials to members.
