The Board of Directors received this abutter’s notice from the Town of Moultonborough. We are sharing it with owners for awareness.

To say that 2020 was one for the books would be an understatement! The coronavirus took center stage and had quite literally hi-jacked our lives. For the first time in the Club’s history, we were unable to host our annual meeting and had to cancel all club dinners for the season. Additional restrictions prevented us from fully opening the club in our typical timeframe. Once
open, we were all doing our very best to socially distance, wear a mask when that was not possible and abide by new guidelines for restroom use. All the while, trying to enjoy spending time with family on the lake we all love.

We appreciate your partnership and cooperation in respecting guidelines put in place to ensure the safety of all who came to Quayside during the 2020 season. We are also grateful for the many volunteers who contributed to the opening, operation and closing of the club for the season. Thank you!

We do hope that you and your families have remained in good health and are navigating restrictions, remote work and remote learning well.

With 2021 now in full swing and vaccine distribution underway; we are hopeful for a very different boating season this year. At this time, it would be pre-mature to project whether we will have the ability to operate normally, but we commit to you, to keep you updated periodically via our web page. Please be sure to check-in from time to time.

Dues and fees
Annual Dues of $550 for the 2021 season are due by May 31, 2021. Invoices will be sent the week of April 12th . Like in year’s past, you have the ability to make payment by mailing the stub with your check or paying online.  If you want to pay online, you
don’t need to mail anything back, just visit the events page.

Winter 2021 Highlights:
– Ice Management
– Important Dates to Remember: (Subject to change based on restrictions that may still be in place.)

• Club Opening – we’re tentatively planning to open for the season on May 8 th. Please note that vessels can be placed in slips once “ice out” has been declared.
• Annual Meeting – May 29th at 10:00am
• Club Dinners – Memorial Day Weekend (Cancelled), July 3 and Labor Day Weekend September 4.

Have you ever noticed in the summer when you swim down deep, the water is cold?  Of course!  We all have.  We know that the surface gets warm from the sun and air and that cold water sinks.

This time of year however, the air temps drop and water temps drop accordingly.  But have you ever wondered why the lake doesn’t completely freeze?  I mean if cold water sinks, as the surface water get colder and colder, shouldn’t that 32 and lower temperature water sink?  Funny thing about water.  Water that is less than 39 degrees is actually lighter (less dense) than water that is 40 and above.  So every so often, you will see little blips like the one in the middle of the temperature graph below where even though the air temperature was below freezing, there was a quick bump in the temperature.  This was caused by deeper, warmer water inverting with the cooler, more dense surface water.  There have been a couple of these so far this season, and there will continue to be more until the surface water temps hit 32.

To keep an eye on the air and water temps, check out the lake conditions page at https://www.trexlers.com/lake-winnipesaukee-live-feed

As mentioned at the 2018 annual meeting, the board has started the process to update our bylaws.  The goal is to hold a vote with the membership next spring, 2019, (and remember, 2/3 of the membership must vote to approve the changes (By-Law 12-100)).

In order to prepare for that, the Board is providing a copy of the initial draft changes.  These changes are the minimal suggested changes to bring us current with the laws that have passed since we were incorporated.  One area that isn’t captured yet is aligning our fiscal year with our annual meeting.  Since there are reporting and meeting requirements, we might need to make some modifications to that part of the document.

Please review the draft attached below and provide any comments you have before the Labor Day weekend.  We will compile the comments and provide a second draft in October with comments requested by Dec 31st.  A final draft will provided at the beginning of 2019 with a vote expected in May 2019.
