For the safety of our members and staff, the Annual Meeting of the Norfolk Yacht and Country Club will be held online virtually on Saturday, January 22, 2022, beginning at 5:00 p.m. There will not be in-person attendance at the Annual Meeting this year. The traditional social party that accompanies the event will be moved to a future date when the current Covid -19 Pandemic is less impactful than today.
The agenda for the Annual Meeting will primarily cover electing officers and three members of the Board of Governors, providing committee reports, approving minor administrative changes to the Club’s Constitution and Bylaws, and transacting such other business as may properly come before this meeting.
