Dear fellow member,

Reciprocal Clubs

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our PCNY family. I hope that you will take advantage of our Club’s many benefits and encourage you to discover how the Club will serve you to its fullest potential. This brief guide will give you a quick introduction to the many ways you may use your membership. However, what a guide cannot express is the wonderful sense of community we share as members, colleagues, and friends. This is your Club and we want you to have the best experience possible. If there is anything I can do to assist you, please feel free to contact me directly at [email protected].
