Officer of the Day (OD)
What is the Officer of the Day (OD)
OD, or Officer of the Day, is a member of the club who acts as a host for visitors and members at the clubhouse. Because we are an all volunteer club, we don’t have staff that can manage the clubhouse, therefore it’s our members that take on this role on any special events and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of each week.
Can I invite my friends and family to the club when I am OD?
Yes!! This is a great time to tell your friends to come by and see the club, have some fun and enjoy some drinks for a $5 donation. Make it a fun time for yourself and fulfill some friend/family obligations of inviting them to hang out with you! If you want to promote a specialty drink, we can also include it in the newsletter so other club members will know what you are up to.
Why am I being asked to be the OD
SCCYC is a member run club. Which means we depends on our members to volunteer to help run the club and share ideas and goals to make SCCYC a fun place we can all call home.
I’m new to the club and I’m not sure what to do when I’m OD, who can help me?
If you’re a new member, don’t worry, it easy; everything you need to know is in the OD binder behind the bar. If you get stuck, your sponsors should be available to assist you on your first OD Duty. If this fails, contact Secretary@sccyc.org or RearCommodore@sccyc.org for assistance. Club contacts can be found here Contact Us
Hours are typically 6 pm – 10 pm on Friday and Saturday nights, Sundays are timed to support the First Sunday Brunches. So the Sunday hours are 11a.m. to 2:00p.m. . All of this can change depending on club events where the OD can best support the on going activity that day.
What if I have a conflict for the day I’m scheduled, can you find a replacement?
The OD chairman, or Rear Commodore schedule approximately 150 OD shifts during the year. Because of that volume, OD duty is scheduled alphabetically since trying to work around everyone’s schedules would make OD a full-time job (and we already have full-time jobs). Therefore, it is up to the member to find a suitable replacement and notify the OD chair or rear commodore of the schedule change. You can find a membership roster by looking up the Standard Member Directory
What happens if I “No Show”
a. A fee of $50 can be levied against any member who fails to service their OD duty.
Nobody told me that I was OD?
OD reminders are emailed a few weeks before the assigned day and are posted on the club calendar at sccyc.org. These are courtesy reminders. Failure to receive a reminder is not an excuse to avoid OD duty or the levied fine.
