locks of fantastically dressed<br />
“angels and demons” attended<br />
the annual Halloween bash on<br />
October 30. After a scrumptious dinner<br />
of roast pork and trimmings, yams,<br />
green salad and chocolate cake with ice<br />
cream, prepared by Laura Mack and the<br />
kitchen staff, members danced away<br />
the evening to recorded music.<br />
Kudos go to Bruce and Pam Wiedemann<br />
for their gruesome graveyard on<br />
the stage which, along with fog machines<br />
and bats hanging from the ceiling,<br />
created a suitable Halloween at-<br />
Oregon Corinthian Sailing Association’s<br />
Sailor of the Year<br />
E<br />
ach year at the OCSA Awards Dinner,<br />
recognition is given to those who have<br />
made significant contributions to the<br />
yachting community. At this year’s dinner, the<br />
local sailing community raised their glasses and<br />
awarded the 2010 OCSA Sailor of the Year to<br />
PYC member Terry Johnson.<br />
Terry has organized and run the Sunday races<br />
during the months of October through February<br />
for the last two winters. The Sunday races provide<br />
practice time for crews, and encourages new<br />
racers to see what it's like to race around the<br />
course.<br />
mosphere. Julie Hinkley transformed<br />
the bar area into a flickering depiction<br />
of a “hot & fiery place“, using sheer<br />
black fabric to shroud the windows and<br />
paper flames to flutter up out of a barrel.<br />
The Parrs turned the sign-in area<br />
into the “gates of heaven” with white<br />
drapery and puffy clouds.<br />
Special thanks go to LeeAnn Snyder<br />
and MaryAnn Nitchie, who worked for<br />
hours on table decorations and settings.<br />
Diane Burns Foster and Ruth Parr also<br />
helped with tables. Skip Nitchie was<br />
one of the “heavy lifters,” assisted by<br />
Jim Hinkley and Al Parr.<br />

Ships will be passing by PYC<br />
on <strong>Dec</strong>ember 10th and 17th.<br />
This year there is not a cookout scheduled<br />
for either of those days. We will<br />
be serving hot dogs, chili and Christmas<br />
cookies on the 17th for $5.00 this<br />
year. Please reserve your party ahead<br />
of time. We will be restricting attendance<br />
to a maximum of 10 for each<br />
member. Last year we had to turn<br />
away members because of the large<br />
parties. The ships usually arrive about<br />
7:30 pm.<br />
We will be dredging the outstation this<br />
season. Bids are out and we will be<br />
letting a contract soon. The office will<br />
be letting you know when the outstation<br />
will be closed during dredging. It<br />
will happen before February 28th.<br />
Our staff wants to thank you for your<br />
holiday donations again this year. We<br />
will be handing out their share at our<br />
staff holiday luncheon.<br />
I want to thank our Commodore and<br />
first mate Nick and Joanie Johnson and<br />
all of our committee members and volunteers<br />
for a fantastic year. We<br />
couldn’t have done it without them. It<br />
is this spirit that makes this club special.<br />
Have a great holiday season.<br />
