Expense Reimbursement

If you have already spent or are planning to spend money on behalf of the club and expect to get reimbursed please read the following carefully.

If you do not follow this process...unless you get prior agreement from the Treasurer...DO NOT expect to be reimbursed.

Cruising

Lake Champlain offers some of the best freshwater cruising in North America. The beautiful scenery and charming lakeside destinations make it a great place to explore. LCYC organizes several rendezvous events. Spontaneous cruising events also materialize throughout the season. We have a number of scheduled events planned for the summer season. Cruisers are out and about just about every weekday and weekend throughout the summer.
