2018 Christmas Party
The annual Christmas party, Friday Dec 11, was nothing less than fantastic! Good food, superb punch and hors d'oueuvres, and the club decorated to the nines. The 2019 slate of officers was installed and the DJ played music for dancing by those not too stuffed to hit the dance floor.
Don and Penny Schindel won the "Basket of Cheer" that should be ample to supply a medium to large party of PYCers!
Here are a few photos snapped by yours truly. If you have some of your own you would like to add, please send them to me (ed.roberts@verizon.net).

Chinese Water Color Class
Randy Pine
Penny Schindel taught 21 of our "artistically inclined" members and guest Chinese Watercolor techniques to use as they completed their first oriental masterpieces. We may not have any pictures headed to a gallery, but we all had a great time trying our hand at a new art form. Don Schindel was Penny's able assistant.

Blessing of the Fleet
The annual blessing of the fleet was held Sunday, May 20, 2018 at PYC. All past and present commodores dressed alike, a new tradition requested by Crosby Forrest.
The Blessing was offered by Dr. Mike Condrey, retired minister of Kirkwood Presbyterian church --we really need to work on Mike to see if we can get him to become a member of PYC. Kathy Myers organized the event with a fantastic beef brisket lunch. Thanks to all who helped.

PYC Paints at Wine and Design
Although Wednesday, March 6, was a dark and stormy night, 15 intrepid and art-inspired PYC Members met at Wine and Design to make sure they were never without an artistically created wine glass to drink the fine wine vintages served at PYC. The wine and snacks before and during helped make our arduous task as artistes a little easier. While the glasses may never garner artistic notice by those who are sober, there is no denying that their creation gave all of the artistes a great evening. Watch for these artistic creations to appear at Friday Night Happy Hours in the near future. Randy Pine

The First Ever PYC BUNCO Party and Sleep Over
New Year's eve the Club held its first BUNCO/Party/Sleep-over. The planned sleep-over and breakfast was, let us say "un-planned" as the bunco players tired and left early. No sleep-over, no breakfast. But, everyone had a great time. Click here for photos provided by Terri Fredericksen.
