Hello McMurdos! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Yes I believe this to be an over site on our part. Not sure the year the membership cards moved in alignment with our fiscal year but we will take care of this moving forward for 2018 membership. Anyone traveling and requires there card for Dec 2017 we can issue a confirmation letter stating they are in good standing with there CBYC membership for that time period. We have done this in the past when members have been aboard for an extended period of time and renewed over the phone. The confirmation letter has always been accepted at the clubs they were visiting. Once again, thank you for advising us, greatly appreciated Oscar Kristoff, Commodore
