Welcome to the Prudence Improvement Association!

Happy New Year to you and your family! As the year ends, we want to take a moment to reflect on the past year and be thankful for the support of our loyal members. We wouldn’t be able to provide our youth and adult events without you. We strive to provide our community with a variety of ways to help and participate throughout our 6 month season and are excited to continue to serve our community in the New Year.

Cheers to another great year! If you have any questions now or into the New Year, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re always happy to help.

Sincerely,
Your PIA Board

PYO Movie Night at the PIA The PIA is looking to hire help for 3-4 hours a night for Tuesday Ice Cream Sundae/Game Night, Wednesday Movie/Teen Event Night and Friday Bingo Snack Shack. If interested, please email PIA.Board@gmail.com.

We are pleased to announce the purchase of an AED for the PIA hall. This device has been proven to make the difference in effective CPR with an improved outcome for the patient. This unit is compatible with the PIVFD’s unit so there should be no down-time changing equipment when they arrive on scene. Please take note of its location, mounted on the wall between the storeroom and the bathroom in the main hall. To increase our community’s preparedness in case of a medical emergency, we will be holding a CPR/AED class at the PIA in June if you’re interested, please email PIA.hall.event@gmail.com.

2024 PYO Ski Trip, March 8th thru March 10th

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re excited about this year’s trip, it’s going to be a great time. Don’t worry if you’ve never skied before you will have lessons and you won’t have to go out on your own until you want too. Everyone will take a refresher class at the bare minimum unless your parent waves the refresher lesson..

The plan is to leave the Prudence Dock in Bristol at 7am Friday morning and return to the dock by 2pm Sunday afternoon. We can arrange to pick up anyone who is basically on the way up north. Kristin Koopman, Beth Slater and Brandon Mara will be the chaperones and drivers. We have a 5-bedroom condo, Beth will prepare and do the cooking. It’s awesome. The PYO pays for all lessons, rentals, lift tickets and food. You bring your clothes to ski in, gloves, hats and lounging clothes along with bathroom supplies with a towel and health insurance card. Yes this trip is paid for 100% from the PYO account.

Itinerary;

Friday

- Pick up ski rentals

- Check into condo

- Tentatively we may go to the Tubing & adventure park

Saturday

Please email any question to PYO.1018@gmail.com
