From Commodore Todd Bickley
I’m not sure, but did we just finish March or January. With the warm spells, rain and the lack of measurable snow (as of this writing), it seems like the tulips should be coming out of the ground; in fact, I think a couple were pop- ping up along the Boardwalk. Eric has not yet used the snow plow and he was contemplating mowing the grass and blowing leaves. However, with the nicer weather and when not raining, Sean Kelley was able to complete the in- stallation of the sanitary and storm sewer lines.

Thank you to Co-Chairpersons Al and Carol Riznikove and Jim and Bev Syrowski and the committee members for the deco- rations and a good meal. Thanks to Ted, the head bartender, for the generous servings of wine. Of course, the Recognition Dinner is a time to remember the Past Commodores, acknowledge the Club employees, thank all those who volunteered the previous year and to present the PCYC Trophies: George Shade Memorial Junior Sailor of the Year, Shark Trophy, and the Oliver True Memorial Trophy for Outstanding Service.
The George Shade Memorial Junior Sailor of the Year Award went to Amber Waite. Congratulations Amber on a successful 2011 racing season. You definitely deserved the award! The Shark Trophy was presented to Bill and Carolyn Taylor, who has provided the Committee Boat for many Green Island Races. Serving on the Race Committee this past year, I can attest to the abundance of food and drinks, and the pres- ence of good company. Mark Hudak was the re- cipient of the Oliver True Memorial Trophy. Mark has been a Club member since 1981 and he has volunteered to serve on committees whether asked or not. He has volunteered on many Club projects, such as helping to remove the tile from the ballroom floor, removing the old carpet, working on the ceiling project and helping out at the riser parties. Congratulations Mark!
