While the thermometer may still be reading a bit closer to freezing than we�d like, winter is waning and we will soon see the welcome signs of spring. And, even though PYC has been hibernating, the Board has been planning for our reopening and for the upcoming season. I look forward to seeing you at the upcoming work party.
