PCC Sailing School is looking for a new School Director

Do you love sailing, but more so, teaching others to sail? The PCC Sailing School is looking for a new School Director. Our School has a great potential, and is well positioned for growth. It's been operating since 2019, is financially stable, is at a great location with plentiful facilities and sailing grounds, and is well equipped.


As the School Director, your responsibilities would include anything from all administrative tasks (scheduling/marketing and advertising classes, registering students, interacting with US Sailing regarding membership, teaching materials, maintaining student records), to maintaining all school equipment, to the fun part of teaching. Our school currently offers Small Boat and Keelboat classes, and ideal candidate would be certified to teach both. Must be a member in good standing of Pymatuning Century Club and US Sailing, and have valid teaching credentials, SafeSport and First Aid Certificate. This is a fully voluntary position. If interested, please reach out to Lidia at 724-967-1910 to set up an interview.

Monthly Hors d'Oeuvre Parties!

Our monthly Hors d 'Oeuvre parties are some of our favorite events! No RSVP's required and no cost - just show up and bring a dish to share. BYOB or donate to the club fridge! During the winter months (Nov. - Apr.), parties start at 5pm on the first Saturday of every month. During May - October, plan on eating around 6pm to allow more time on the water! This is a great opportunity to invite friends or family and show them what we are all about, or meet some of our new members. See you all then!

Next event: Saturday, August 2nd, @6PM.

Input to our monthly newsletter is encouraged and greatly appreciated! Please email articles and photos to Lidia at szarak2000@yahoo.com or text photos to 724-967-1910 by the 25th of each month.
