[https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/MZx7rm_msEmVDWrEjjzZ0X6G-y0ELlSORFF1l_4OW…] PYC Members, Out of an abundance of caution, in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the work party scheduled for this coming Saturday, March 21st, is postponed indefinitely. We still hope to install the docks at 0700 with the "regular dock volunteers". The rest of Spring clean up will be held at a later date. Please phone or email with any questions or concerns. Hope everyone stays healthy and home. Amy Gordon Pullin Commodore 203-912-3421

[PYC-News] Black Seal restaurant workers benefit at ECYC, Sunday, 1/26
by Amy Pullin 25 Jan '20

25 Jan '20

We would like to help spread the word about a benifit for workers of The Black Seal - a local watering hole long supported by sailors.... On January 6th, The Black Seal, of Essex CT had an early morning fire. Gratefully, there were no injuries or fatalities, but the building suffered enough damage where the business will not be able to reopen for several months. What we tend not to think about during times like these, are the Employees, who are now without a job. You will think, they can claim unemployment benefits, but in reality, due to the significant portion of their pay being TIP compensation, this benefit will not fulfill their financial need. In addition, many if not all work on a week-to-week basis with no significant savings and in one case in particular the whole household of four is now without work. This is why I am reaching out to you. They need our financial help! If we all join together and donate to this much-needed cause, it will benefit them immensely and get them through this difficult time! Thank you for your consideration. Essex Corinthian Yacht Club is offering a benefit on Sunday, January 26. The Essex Ed parade takes place at 2 pm. Before or after the parade come to ECYC for food, prizes and more. Cost is $25 https://www.gofundme.com/f/black-seal-workers-benefit [https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/44829040_1579354843282094_r.jpeg]<https://www.gofundme.com/f/black-seal-workers-benefit> Black Seal Workers Benefit organized by Diana Gregory<https://www.gofundme.com/f/black-seal-workers-benefit> Diana Gregory Black Seal Workers Benefit On January 6th, The Black Seal, of Essex CT had an early morning fire.

Re: [PYC-News] Dave Wemett shared "PYC_PRE-PRODUCTION" with you.
by Amy Pullin 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

Bills for life members have in the past. I recall there was confusion last year and some were disgruntled that they weren't being recognized as "Life". The dues need to say $0. Incorporating the term life member in there somehow would be good too. ________________________________ From: Marian Carson <treasurer(a)pettipaug.org> Sent: Friday, January 17, 2020 6:55 AM To: Dave Wemett <membership(a)pettipaug.org> Cc: Amy Pullin <Commodore(a)pettipaug.org>; kmryan1995(a)gmail.com <kmryan1995(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: Dave Wemett shared "PYC_PRE-PRODUCTION" with you.
