[Board] Draft 1 Commodore's Update for June 4/5

[Pat Dowey]

Dear BOD Members,

The good news and the bad news.....

Good news is we have a little more parking.  David McArdle attended the
Selectmen's meeting on Monday night and the details below are the contents
of their conditions and are approved by NC Chief of Police White.
The bad news is there are still members not wearing masks.
Below is the draft of the member letter for the end of next week.  As
always, please point out errors and make suggestions.  If you have
something to add, please send me the text and I will include it.   Also, if
you have an agenda item for next week, please let me know.

As always, please let me know that you approve this so it can go out in a
timely manner and I can let Frieda know the details.

Thank you for all your contributions. I appreciate the support.
Pat

Dear Members,

Only two updates this week regarding masks and parking.

*Masks: ** Unfortunately, the number of members who are not wearing masks
when on PYC property is eroding the BOD's confidence that we can safely
reopen additional functions of the Club. There have been any number of
complaints and reports of non-compliance.  Please wear a mask and we will
do our best to get the Club as open and functional as soon as possible.*

*Parking:*  Please read carefully.  We are one step closer to having the
Club available to more members thanks to the following understanding
between local officials and resident BOD member David McArdle regarding
parking.

Under the strict conditions outlined below, the parking restrictions near
the Club have been eased.  I can not stress enough that the following
directions *MUST be followed or cars will be ticketed.*

                          *As of June 2nd, parking on Piscataqua Street
from PYC property along the white fence only, and no further, will be
allowed.*
                                    Members are not allowed to park
anywhere else or they will be fined.
                                    All other parking on New Castle is
closed to non-residents.

                          *A PYC sticker must be displayed on the drivers
side back window.*
                                   If there is no sticker or the sticker is
not visible in the proper location the car will be fined.  Police will not
look all over the car for proper placement of sticker.
                                   If you need a sticker, please call,
email, or see Frieda.  Staff is not authorized to dispense parking stickers.
                                   No  verbal excuses will be accepted by
the police officer.

                         *Overnight parking is NOT allowed.*

                         *Parking is to be utilized for access to PYC
only. *


*                         One car per member is strongly suggested.*
                        *Just like in past years, we'll share the parking
along Piscataqua Street with contractors, landscapers and residents. *

In advance, thank you for your compliance with these new rules and your
patience as we work through the next phase of operations.

My best to each of you,
Pat Dowey
Commodore
