The wonderful amenities that we all enjoy at the Pioneer Valley
Yacht Club are a result of the hard work of our committee chairs
and the dedicated members who are conscientious about meeting
their work commitment. I would like to thank all of these special
folks who have pitched in to get the PVYC in great shape for the
2010 season:
•Linda Abrams and her Membership Committee folks for all of their
phone calls, letters, and emails that have filled every last one of our
membership slots with 25+ new and enthusiastic members for the
2010 season
•John Mientus and his Grounds crew for clearing great piles of
brush from the North end of the PVYC property, fertilizing, and re-
seeding the entire lawn area, planting shrubs, clearing brush from
the tennis court area, and mowing and beautifying the PVYC
grounds
•Dave Grant and his Dock crew for all of their prep work and for
getting the docks in place in record time and maintaining them
throughout the season
•Jason Kology and members of the Boatyard Committee for
clearing the boatyard area, laying new gravel in the parking lot,
maintaining Anthony Road, and for clearing the brush at the South
end of the PVYC property
•Bud Breeding for managing the renovation project that brought our
kiddie pool into compliance with new federal regulations and to all
of the Pool Committee members for constantly trimming back those
aggressive vines on the pool fence, scrubbing clean 30+ chairs
and tables, painting the locker room floors, cleaning the pool deck
of debris, mowing the grass, cleaning the locker rooms, and getting
the pool up and running and maintained in beautiful condition for all
to enjoy
•Anne Marie Kristoffy and her House Committee members for
making the clubhouse floor sparkle, putting in the screens on the
porch, cleaning the stoves and refrigerator in the clubhouse, and
for maintaining paper supplies in our restrooms. A special thank
you to Peter Kristoffy for heading up the crew of John Sinclair,
Judy Epstein, Tom Goodrow, and Ron Manchester who painted
the walls, doors, and ceilings in the clubhouse living room and
kitchen areas.
•Cyndie Eisnor and her Social Committee Members who provided
the setup and refreshments for our New Member meeting, pulled
off a wonderful Memorial Day Picnic where we consumed vast
quantities of hotdogs and hamburgers, conducted a spectacular
Summer Kickoff Dance, and for managing a full schedule of
summer events that will provide us with lots of opportunities to
have a good time and get to know each other better.
•Cory White and members of the Race Committee who are now in
the process of learning how to operate the pontoon boat and
planning the sailboat races for the 2010 season.
Please join me in thanking these committed and hard- working
members for their efforts! I look forward to seeing you on the
beautiful Connecticut River and around the pool.
