The survey results indicated that there are more members willing to attend the Annual Meeting in a large, indoor space with appropriate measures, than the number required for a quorum. The event space is huge and can accommodate more than the number needed for a quorum with social distancing, masks required, and a commercially cleaned space prior to the meeting. The Pavillion is a brand new venue with high end amenities; a commercial grade sound system, in-floor heating, and large rest rooms. </div><div> The BOD intends to keep the meeting as short as possible to limit the time spent inside to a minimum. Distribution of <i>all the reports will be sent by email </i> prior to the meeting. There will be a chance to ask questions if the committee chair is present. If not present, questions will be taken for publication with the answers after the meeting. You will be receiving the Annual Meeting information packet in advance of the meeting by mail as usual.</div><div><br></div><div> All events in September, and for the rest of the year, have been cancelled due to the survey results showing there was not enough interest to host a social function at the Club with over 60% of the respondents indicating they had no intentions of attending any events. Similarly, the uncertainties the Fall and Winter may bring determined that the holiday gatherings are also cancelled. <br></div><div><br></div><div> As the weather turns cooler and the sun sets earlier, the hours of operation on the docks and launch are also shortening. Please keep up with these changes on FaceBook, the PYC website, or by calling ahead to check with the dock staff.</div><div><br></div><div>My best to each of you,</div><div><br></div><div>Pat Dowey, Commodore</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div> </div></div></div>
