2023 Annual Club Membership and Boat Slip Lease Invoices are on the way!

Cinosam residents have now been entered into the new Wave System that will generate invoices and send them out via snail mail. The goal, going forward, is to allow for electronic payment, within Wave, for those who desire to pay that way. More to come on that!

So be on the lookout for this new official invoice for your 2023 dues and boat slips. It will be delivered by mail soon.
