PYC Club Opening was a Great Success!
Opening Day Volunteers, 2012  

More than 75 people attended PYC's Club Opening on Saturday, April 14.

Starting at 8:00 a.m. Sailin' Sisters prepared a breakfast feast of pancakes, sausages, fresh fruit, coffee, juice, and more.

Commodore Mij Frierson got us started with general announcements, Property Manager Gary Templeton introduced tasks and crew chiefs, and we were off and running. We cut down trees, cleaned out the storage shed, serviced our committee boat, tuned our mower, installed dock rub rails, cleared brush, picked up trash, recommissioned the sewage pumpout, cleaned the kitchen, planted grass, distributed fire extinguishers, installed lights in the pavilion, and much more.

A lunch feast was prepared by Shirley Cline, Lisa Hockenberg (Social Co-Chairs), and the Kitchen Kittens and we ate like royalty.

Thanks to all who participated in this annual tradition and especially the crew chiefs. It was a terrific day. Now let's go sailing!

Commodore's Corner

By Mij Frierson, s/v Let It Breeze

Wow, are you like me and wondering where April went? Though we're just getting started it seems like this year is already zooming by. Boats are starting to fill slips in the marina and the noise of boat work can be heard from the storage yard.

This year promises to be a busy one again at PYC. Join us this weekend for the annual Cinco De Mayo party. It is a perennial favorite. Keep up to date on other upcoming events with our on-line calendar. A busy race schedule is about to get under way and new this year will be the Leukemia Cup Regatta in June.

Feel like doing a little volunteer work? Planning for the Commodore's Cup has begun and additional help is always welcome. And of course all members are invited to join us on the second Thursday of each month for our monthly Board Meeting at Kansas City Sailing.

Most of all, come on out to PYC and enjoy our little jewel on the lake. Sailing time has arrived. I look forward to seeing you at the club.

Your Commodore,
Mij Frierson
