June 20, 2024

Summer has arrived with high heat and lots of sun shine.

I hope you and your family are enjoying swimming, tennis and the water sports at the club.

We have a few key points of information to share:

The first is there is a need for support this Saturday 6/22/24 to paint the Jr Club house. Tom Ward is leading this event, it starts on Saturday at 8:00am, Tom is looking for help scraping, taping off trim and windows. He is going to spray the build and he will need help back brushing the paint into the shingles. Bring a scraper, brush and a ladder if you can. Tom will have other supplies for you to use.

The TPYC has a rich history of being a place that friends gather and a social network was developed. COVID change our social culture, we want to find ways for all of our members to join in on fun family and adult events. We schedule socials around BBQ’s, sailing events and holidays.

We need help, the board is looking for a few members to support a social committee, we need to reach our membership and ask the important question. What are the social events that interest you; we have done painting classes, beer tasting, BBQs and fire pit gatherings.

Reach out to me to let me know if you have an interest of joining a committee. We also will be sending a quick survey to seek feedback on interest around social events.

Summer lessons, please go to the website and sign up. We are offering seven weeks of swim and tennis and 4 weeks of sailing. Sailing starts on July 8, 2024. Questions , please reach out to Bruce Hall.

On the website we are developing a list of repairs and work that needs to be done, the list will be up very soon, if you want to help, take a look at an activity and let Mik or Ashley The Bosuns, that you have an interest, they can support the supply need of any project.

Board meetings are on the deck at the club, dates are on the club calendar. Please feel free to join us.

Enjoy the club!!
