I am receiving complaints, again!

REMINDER: UGH!

This gets really  old to have to keep reminding people to pick up their

dog’s poop. One of our members was shoveling-up poop that is now all over

PYC’s  Private Property! PYC is still OPEN, members are still sailing and enjoying

the fall. No one needs to encounter dogs jumping on them, growling or stepping

in what should be picked- up poop. Thanks to all the picker-uppers. Club is open-

dogs should be on a leash.
