Dear Pettipaug members,

It is with great pleasure that I announce, on behalf of the Boards of Pettipaug Yacht Club and Pettipaug Sailing Academy, that Peter Charbonnier has accepted the position of Treasurer. During the next few weeks, Marian Carson and Peter will be working on the orderly handover of the Treasurer tasks and responsibilities. 

After the more than 30 years that Marian has fulfilled the Treasurer role, she has indicated that she and her husband Larry are planning to leave Connecticut and move closer to their family in North Carolina.  It is needless to say that we are sad that Marian will leave us, but simultaneously we are extremely grateful for everything that she has done for the club and the Academy. Obviously, in the near future, we will take the opportunity to express our gratitude in an appropriate way. 

Peter Charbonnier is a long term Pettipaug member and is well known in our community. Among other things, Peter has founded and run various businesses on Main Street, Essex and has been practicing law in downtown Chester for more than 20 years.  Through these ventures, he has gained extensive experience with multiple aspects of the duties required for the Treasury position. Furthermore, Peter is an active sailor and enjoys racing his JY15 as well as driving his motorboats on the river. Please join me in welcoming Peter as our new Treasurer. 

 

The mail account treasurer@pettipaug.org will remain unchanged and will be seamlessly transferred from Marian to Peter. 

Best regards,

Mischa van Berkel

Commodore
