PYC Nominations for Board & Officers for 2016-17

September 2016

Tina Powell - Commodore

September is upon us, the ambi-

ance, the warm weather, where

else do we want to be. So come

to the club to sun seeker, bird

watch, watch water sports or just

to relax. PYC is the place.

We have several cruise in’s

schedule in the next few months.

Starting with Sausalito Yacht Club. Sacramento

Yacht Club will join us on the Labor Day weekend.

Our general meeting this year falls on the Labor Day

weekend, so we have moved the general meeting to

the following Friday, September 9th. Nancy Walker

and Leland Fishman, say Chili Cook off ! It is time to

make your favorite Chili or corn bread and bring it to

the general meeting.

Thank everyone who responded to the Club Rules

Survey. Thank you for your comments, your board

continues to listen. We had 67 responses out 154

members. Each member was allowed one vote.

That meant if you and your spouse or significant other

are members, then each of you could vote. Several

members thought the vote was per household. As-

suming we may be able to use the Random sampling

method, the fact still is there was a misunderstanding

and this can bias the conclusions, it was decided we

need more discussion with the committee until next

month.

FLAG OFFICER’S REPORTS

What we discussed at the Board meeting.

Club Rules Survey- 67 responses came in from

154 members surveyed, Inconclusive

Our building is 29 years old, approaching 30.

Our member volunteers work hours and

spend money out of their pocket to maintain

our building. This is the premise on why we

are sensative to a rental or club usage re-

quest.

Building committee repaired several items at the

club this month. A new exhust fan to be in-

stalled in the kitchen.

Delta Cruise process to be defined and put on the

Annual Club Calendar as an action item.

Secretary Anne Gealta had to step down, still

will be membership.

If you are interesting in secretary, newsletter or any

other committee now is the time to step up.

We continue our fun

with Anchors Aweigh

for a Good Time!

See you at the Club,

Cheers!

McKenzie Smith - Rear Commodore

Opportunity for a Ladies only get together (and sleep over) with participating boats coming in either Friday, September 9th or morning of 10th. We start getting together Saturday morning, so come on down and get to know one another better. Some of you will be able to come for the entire time and others as time permits. Bring munchies to share, possibly play cards or farkel. It is a meaning-ful time and has always been fun. BYOB and

extra!!

We will have exalted cabin boys (men from PYC making coffee runs, cham-pagne runs, taking out the trash!! We could possibly have breakfast in the club on Sunday morning

with Gail’s famous sticky buns, scram-bled eggs and bacon….hungry already!! We can talk about dinner…….usually the munchies have been sufficient, but we could possibly round up some fellows to cook dinner for us???

What happens on the boat—stays on the boat!
