PYC Members Dressed To The Nines for the Empire Reindeer Christmas Club Celebration


Shown in photo are PYC beautiful members: Wendy Yale, Hillary Jessen, Meg Coon and Annette Newberry.
The Empire Reindeer Christmas Club, which was established in 1897, held its annual soiree on Dec 5. The gala event has just one purpose: to raise money for Toys for Tots, so that every child in need will have a present under the tree on Christmas morning.
It is not a corporate event; it's an evening of old school merriment hosted by two old friends and cohorts, Kenneth T. Murphy and Nicolas Dambrie.
This year's event at the Portland Yacht Club raised more than $10,000 through the generosity of friends and colleagues of the organizers.
It was one of the larges contributions to Toys for Tots in the state this year, and the Maine Corps was on hand to accept the check.
