MANAGER’S REPORT<br />
T<br />
he Holiday season is<br />
upon us again. Time<br />
is moving at an ever-increasing<br />
rate it seems. I can remember<br />
just writing about the start of<br />
the boating season. This <strong>Dec</strong>ember<br />
we will be busy with<br />
the Holidays as usual. The clubhouse will be<br />
decorated on Sunday <strong>Dec</strong>ember 3rd. The ladies’<br />
Holiday dinner will be on Wednesday the<br />
6th, the Children’s Christmas Party Sunday the<br />
10th, ornament exchange cookout plus Christmas<br />
Ships on Friday the 15th, our Holiday<br />
Open House on Sunday the 17th and of course<br />
our New Year’s Eve Party on Sunday the 31st. I<br />
hope that you will be able to spend some time<br />
during the holidays at the <strong>Club</strong>. It is always a<br />
special time of the year for us.<br />
We have had some exceptional weather in November<br />
as I write this column. It is always a<br />
good idea to check and recheck your mooring<br />
lines and boathouse chains to ensure that you<br />
are ready to withstand extreme weather. Make<br />
sure that you are not running small extension<br />
cords with heaters that can cause a potential<br />
fire.<br />
HISTORIAN’S CORNER<br />
T<br />
he Centennial is just a few months<br />
away and the <strong>Club</strong> is getting ready<br />
for this historic event. Just think, in a century,<br />
we have gone from 13 members and a 9 by 12<br />
float to 365 members and a 12,000 square foot<br />
clubhouse.<br />
We, the History Committee (Carol Smith, Larry<br />
Snyder and me) would like to hear anecdotes<br />
about the <strong>Club</strong>. To accomplish this, we will be<br />
available during Saturday’s lunches. You can talk<br />
and we will take your verbal history and add it<br />
to PYC’s.<br />
The most important man in <strong>Club</strong>’s history is<br />
our first Commodore George B. Kelly who<br />
founded the <strong>Club</strong> and then purchased the land<br />
where our <strong>Club</strong> and moorage is located. We<br />
would like to honor him by a trophy or something<br />
else at our Centennial. PLEASE GIVE<br />
US YOUR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO<br />
HONOR HIM.<br />
Also, let us know of the oldest boats in the <strong>Club</strong><br />
so that they can be honored at the Centennial.<br />

who have put in time during the year<br />
to help us to have the best <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> on the<br />
river. Doug Foster and all of his committees<br />
have worked very hard to make your experiences<br />
here special. I couldn’t do it without their<br />
help. Have a great Holiday season.<br />
