When: Saturday, May 21, 2022
Time: 9:00 AM until it is all done.
Participation: Required for all TPYC members.
***As long as your project is completed before Saturday,
you are not required to be at the club on Opening Day***
When Taylor Pond Yacht Club was founded, there was no staff to prepare the club for the summer season or to slap a fresh coat of paint on the Sr. Clubhouse door each spring. Families joined knowing that they would be responsible for keeping the club ship shape inside and out.
This Yankee way of doing things was even codified into the Club’s bylaws stating that members choosing not to participate in the Club’s annual workday could be assessed a fine.
We realize that some members will not be able to participate on Saturday, May 21, so as in previous years members can take on tasks in advance of Taylor Pond Yacht Club’s 2022 Opening Day.
Please check out this list of jobs and projects below—making sure to click through and then sign up— also make sure you bring a good pair of work gloves and boots. Each of the jobs and projects listed includes details on what you might need to have on hand and how many people it should take. Any task not completed before May 21st will be done on opening day.
As needed, please coordinate with Bosun Mik Morrisey at mik.morrisey@gmail.com directly for the tools and equipment needed to complete this project. If required by the project, please bring appropriate gloves (sanitary or work). Safety Equipment like Ear & Eye Protection when needed for the project are not optional and should be brought from home. Children are not permitted to use any power tools without direct parental supervision. Return all tools and equipment to Bosun or in his absence to the Bosun’s Shed.
