Dock Help Needed

April is planned to be Permanent Dock Restoration Month. During the month of April we will be looking for volunteers to help with dock maintenance activities. We need to remove all of the support poles, straighten them, and reinstall. While we have these poles out we are moving the docks 10 ft further into the lake to make navigation to the inside slips easier. We also need to repair any damage to the docks and apply a fresh coat of stain/sealant. We will be sending more details as the time gets closer, but we'll be looking for help on most weekends for various projects so keep some days open for volunteering at the club. Much of this will be weather permitting so plans may change based on Mother Nature. We'd like to have all of this work done prior to the spring work party when members start to put their boats in the water.

Roof Repair

This will likely be the season we need to replace the aging club house roof. We have started the process of getting quotes. If you are a roofer or know a good roofer please let Dale Lewis, building and grounds chair, know so he can get some additional quotes. We are looking to keep the price down as much as possible so that we can limit the impact to our club funds, primarily funding this through our Maintenance Account.

Youth Sail Camp 2023

New in 2023, the Youth Sail Camp will be a 2-day (Saturday & Sunday, June 24 & 25) Sail Camp for kids ages 10-17. This class will be taught on club owned Sunfish, Topper and American 14.6. Participants will learn to handle a small boat independently or as a crew on the American. We will discuss basic sailing terminology, parts of the boat and their functions, helm commands, sail trim, points of sail, basic seamanship and rules of the road. Camp will be taught by our US Sailing certified volunteer instructors. This class will be limited to 12 participants, and will be only offered to PCC Members, Family and Friends. Please visit our website for more information and to download an application! Email Lidia (or txt 724-967-1910) with any questions. We hope to see you there!

Life Saving Device Donated to the Club!

A "LifeVac" Home Kit has been donated to the club. This device is an alternative method to the Heimlich maneuver to save someone that's chocking on something. The kit comes with 1 adult and 1 child mask.

Please take a few minutes to visit the LifeVac website to learn more about it, especially how to use it!

The device will be stored near the AED. If it's ever used, please contact Ron Gallagher so the mask used can be replaced.
