Sat. 1/20 4P Bar Class w/Tom G.
Not just for new members but for all members. When you are in charge of the
bar, it is important to do things properly. A little brush up is good for
everyone. Let’s make it fun…appetizers and potluck to follow. Another bar class
will be scheduled in February for those who could not attend earlier.
Some of our wines are starting to shoot up in
price. We will need to address this soon.
Inventory is good. All the bills paid. There is
over $4K in the account.
CO Report: Tom requested folks to sign-up for the bar class. Everyone can
benefit. He also reminded folks to please pump the wines when closing the bar.
This will help to prevent the pouring of sub-quality wine and unnecessary
waste. We do have plenty of rubber corks to preserve many bottles of wine. Tom also mentioned how much fun it is to put
on these group meals for our general meetings. It’s a good way to work with
people and get to know them better. He also said it would be very helpful if
the general membership pitched in with the after-meal cleanup to share in the
effort.
Events: Diana thanked everyone for coming to the NYE party. She received a
rousing round of applause for a job well done. All the partygoers had a
wonderful time and we missed the rest of you but hope you enjoyed your holidays
as well.
Cruise-Outs: McKenzie stated we are set for 1/20
SFYC– drive/cruise to dinner.
3/10
St. Francis YC – drive/cruise to dinner.
Membership: Linda presented Steve & Tina Powell
with their PYC packet and officially installed them as our newest members to
the club. (They were approved 10/19/06 and were unfinished membership
business). We look forward to getting to know them better. Gloria presented Carrie Zurney with her new club badge as she was
approved as a Domestic Partner w/Tom
Sunshine: Our Sunshine Gal, Lonnie has
just had a foot operation. Bente offered to send her our best wishes for a
speedy recovery. Thank you Bente.
Galley: (Linda for Suzanne) All is well. If you need anything, “Let me know”.
Editor: Alta thanked everyone for their input. If you have any jokes,
odds/ends, etc. please send her way via email/U.S. mail. All is appreciated.
The ads look great, crisper. She will insert our newsletter name once
again…”Chicken Scratch”… no, make that “Sheet”. Oh wait a minute. Better be
careful with that
Advertising: Jim, “who works for Alta”, didn’t realize the job entailed over 300
hours! So to get to the point…Ad Copy and your payment is all we need. Our goal
is to make the Chick Sheet a better newsletter and well-designed ads can make a
huge difference.
The Coop: Alona thanked the team for the food preparation this evening. Elvis
would be proud! Also, please check January newsletter for details on the “Design a T-Shirt” contest and submit your entries to
Photography: Gail is uploading photos to ImageStation.com and sending photos
to Alta for the newsletter. Kathy will change the account ID to “pyc2007”
and the password to “2007” for this year’s pix. This should help
simplify and organize our numerous photos. Keep ‘um coming.
PICYA: No report.
Décor: No report.
Unfinished Business: Tom informed Vince M. & Kevin H.
about the new Latitude 38 article (page 64 ) and the docks here at PYC. The City is still looking at
bids for the gates. All improvements have been
funded.
WiFi: We have received some responses. Please send in your
questionnaire to Linda via email/U.S. mail or call and leave a message. Rich Todt suggested that the questionnaire should
have asked if you wanted the club to make money from the WiFi
offering. In addition, he suggested that each
member have an individual account. Please include any additional comments you
would like to share as well.
Good of the Club: Linda circulated a sign-up sheet for
the
James

Time Pasta!!
Tom
G. invited everyone to enjoy a video of our Delta
Cruise ’06 and NYE Party. Hoop mentioned he’d like to have a Dingy Dine-Around again this year. It is a
fantastic event. Hopefully the Sea Scouts will taxi a few of us without
dinghies!
Don
reminded everyone to be sure to turn off the
faucets in the restrooms to avoid waste and expense in having all
that heated water go down the drain.
