[Red-winged Blackbird - Indiana Audubon] SPRING 2025 Remember to Spring ahead One Hour this weekend The Red-winged black bird has returned to Pettipaug, a Robin was seen on the dirt road leading to the Essex Boat Club and our friends and family of Osprey shall be retuning soon to their nest in the wetlands, west of our boat yards. ~ We have much to do about everything in the next two months as we prepare for Memorial Day weekend, May 24: Commissioning, Commodore's Race and celebration of Pettipaug Yacht Club's 75th Anniversary. SAVE THE DATE invitations are being sent to out -of-state members, PSA Alumni and all past Commodores. Weather permitting, the docks are scheduled to be in the water March 22nd, the high school sailors will be arriving for spring training the following week. A work party is scheduled for April 12th. We will need volunteers to help us from April - May 22. A schedule will be sent each week as to what is needed. Thanking you in advance for any and all help! Once docks are removed, the boat yards will be prepared and organized for members to bring boats later in April. The road will be worked on, new split- rail fencing installed, work on the Commodore's room, new railings and the launch and hoist area are all in progress. Looking forward to seeing you in the SPRING! Priscilla Robinson PYC Commodore
