You Can Make A Difference
YOU CAN MAKEÂ A DIFFERENCE AT ROTON POINT!
| The Membership Committee would like to encourage our members to give a little back to Roton Point through volunteering time to serve on a committee or the Board of Directors. Although Roton Point has an excellent staff lead by our General Manager member volunteers are what give the Club its particular personality. We want to encourage, especially, some of the members who have recently purchased units to volunteer. New members’ fresh ideas and perspectives are an integral part of Roton Point’s mix. We have a lot of talent among us that could easily be put to work to make Roton even better!Most of the various volunteer opportunities at the Club are manageable. Many committees meet only once a month, and often for only several months out of the year. Some volunteer positions involve planning one social event, and doing this with a friend is welcomed. Listed below are descriptions of several committees including time commitment, meeting days and times, and contact names and numbers. Please review these and see if one would interest you. Whatever you do, please remember that as owners we all share an interest in and responsibility to make Roton Point the best for all of us. It’s our Club and we must all participate to keep it that way!Tennis Committee
In conjunction with the Tennis Director Tom Wright, the Tennis Committee meets to oversee, plan and coordinate the various tennis programs and events. Budgets, calendars and protocol are created for the season’s Interclub and intraclub tournaments for men’s, women’s, junior teams, junior programs and for all tennis social events. The Committee also makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding personnel, rule changes, program adjustments and tennis facilities. Committee members are encouraged to sign up to help plan one tennis social event/tournament per summer and volunteer for various jobs such as treasurer, secretary, trophies and operations liaison. Meetings of the Tennis Committee take place once a month, March through November, from 7:30-9:00 PM in the Hotel conference room. In addition to the hour and a half per month for meetings, committee members can count on a few additional planning hours during the month for their scheduled social event and may also be asked for input on tennis issues via email. Please contact chair, Jim Bradford or the General Manager (838-1606) for further information or to sign up for the committee. . History Committee The mission of the History Committee is to preserve and perpetuate the history of Roton Point.

Sailing Committee – Roton Point Sailing Association RPSA oversees all waterfront activities in the sailing bay, including member use of club boats, sailboat racing, and flat-top cruises. It pays particular attention to the safety of all members. It has overall responsibility for the acquisition and maintenance of all club-owned boats and boating equipment. It also has overall responsibility for the berthing of all club and member-owned boats, kayaks and other watercraft. RPSA meets to oversee, plan and coordinate all boating programs and events, including the Annual Fall Multi-hull regatta in September, this year being its 53rd. In addition to compiling an annual operating budget, RPSA also makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding capital expenditures on boats, boating equipment, and waterfront maintenance. A primary concern of RPSA is what is seen to be the underutilization of the great waterfront asset of the club. Put another way, how do we get more people out onto the water? Input from members on this point is always appreciated.
