Wax On, Wax Off
Many of you are enjoying the warmer climate to the South while the remainder of us stay up North to endure the winter. Although we are told to revel in the change of seasons, it is not always pleas- ant. Boaters are waxing and painting their crafts preparing for spring launch. It is a contest to be first in the lagoon, usually won by Denny Snyder. The last week of March will find him settling into his dock.
Centennial Bricks for SAIL!Choose your brick, print the form and bring your order to the club!
Download Brick Order FormMany of you may not be aware of our need for members. We have experienced a shortfall the past two years and this year is no exception. Please spend some time with your non-member friends and persuade them to apply. Applications received by March 15th should allow your friends to be members in time for our new mem- ber party in May and the pool opening Mary 29th. Applications are available at the bar or ask any board member. Dues and dockage are the main revenue source for the club, keeping a full membership is simply good fiscal policy.
The generosity of our membership was never more on display the Friday and Saturday in late January when we hosted benefits for the John T. Waite family. Snacks on Friday for our members was well attended, but the real outpouring was Saturday night. The throng that roamed through our club that evening was nothing short of spectacular. Ask any of those in attendance and they will tell you that it was a once in a decade event. The flag officers and board members want to thank the membership for their compassion and understanding.
On a sad note, John Waite passed on February 9th. With his passing, the PCYC family extends our heartfelt sympathy to Lori, the girls, and all of Johns’ family. The sail garage crowd won’t be the same without his smiling face and sunny outlook.
Our new website is up and running with the help of many. PC Cindy Bolte, Secretary Jim Widmer, and our caretaker Eric Reynolds will be attending portions of the new site. Members can submit photos for the site and links will be established for social networking on Facebook. Feel free to recommend ideas for articles and events on the site.
Ted, Justin, and Vicki are creating your favorite adult beverages. Stop by and experience winter at your club and plan for the season ahead.
