2024-25 Committees & Chairs
Our Club depends largely upon the membership to govern and operate its programs. Volunteerism is the key to building relationships with fellow members and keeping expenses down. Everyone is expected to make a contribution of time by helping with boating activities, social events, and bi-annual work weekends.

Please contact a committee chair if you are interested in joining a committee, have a concern, question, or suggestion.

For the 2025 season, the Junior Board has worked towards raising funds to support Beach Haven Volunteer First Aid Squad. The Beach Haven First Aid Squad (BHFAS), established in 1939, is an all-volunteer emergency medical services (EMS) organization serving the residents and visitors of Beach Haven and Long Beach Township on Long Beach Island, New Jersey. Operating without paid staff, BHFAS which is a non-profit, charitable 501 (c)(3) organization, relies on donations to provide free services to those in need.

More information about Beach Haven Volunteer First Aid Squad can be found on its website: www.beachhavenfirstaid.org
