2007 PHYC Nog Party and Food/Toy drive

The 2007 Boat Decorating, Nog Party and Toy/Food Drive was a huge success thanks to everyone who contributed and participated. Approximately 488 pounds of food and toys and $185 in cash and checks were collected for the Brinnon Food Bank! Dick and Sheila Moore provided the Christmas tree which continues to have a few new ornaments added each year. The folks at the Marina helped set up the restaurant area and clean up the pool area in preparation for our event. The weather looked iffy and the highway was closed but suddenly the highway opened and at 3 pm the wind and rain ceased. We caught a lucky break!


It actually warmed enough that some of our members were seen wearing shorts at the outdoor nog and snack function at the pool! Now that is optimism!















For those who were still cold, Wolfman's experimental nog had enough 'extra' to keep us all warm. There were also windbreaks and several propane heaters to keep everyone comfortable.

There was also mulled wine, other nogs and a variety of snacks (seen here with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Diane from the Brinnon Food Bank joined our festivities and was impressed with the support provided by the PHYC.

After the nog party at the pool, everyone adjourned to the marina store where there were a lot of great food offerings and good company.


After dark, the beautifully lighted boats were reflected in the water and added to the festive time.






One last note, this was Kim Parson's ( seen seated center) last nog party for a while. He is headed cross-country in his RV on new adventures. Kim has been at Pleasant Harbor for many years and his pictures of the marina hang in the restaurant. He has also been the host at the Pleasant Harbor Campground Resort for the past couple of summers. We wish Kim well on his adventures and hope he joins us for a few parties when he is in town.



We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday. 'And to all a good night!'
