WRBC MEMBERS:

Our Club has been asked by the City for help with this event.     

We need 5-6 boats to patrol the perimeter of the races to keep any boaters from entering the race courses during the race. If we get more than 5-6 boats we can rotate in and out. You will be given orange flags to indicate you are a patrol boat. They do break for lunch.

The event starts at 8am to around 4PM from our launch to Amoco Beach & back.

30 minutes & 1 Lap per race.

2 Races on Saturday and 1 on Sunday.

You will have a front row seat to the race and of course its weather permitting.

Please let me know ASAP as the sponsor needs to know soon.

Next year they are trying to get the big Power Boats from Michigan City Race here also!

This is a high powered Jet Ski Race which should be exciting to be involved in.

It will again help us with our WRBC/City relationship.

Please consider volunteering even for 1 day and let me know.

RE: HANDICAPPED SPOT WARNING

WRBC MEMBERS,

WARNING------- DO NOT PARK IN ANY HANDICAPPED SPOT INCLUDING ANY AREA IN FRONT OF OUR  SHED UNLESS YOU HAVE A HANDICAPPED PLACARD OR LICENSE PLATE.

I was STRONGLY TOLD by a City Official that if anyone is caught parking in these areas, especially in front of our shed, they will be immediately towed at your expense. This means not even pulling in to the open space in front of or blocking these Handicapped spaces.

Apparently this whole area is NOT RESERVED FOR HANDICAPPED BOAT CLUB MEMBERS BUT FOR ANY HANDICAPPED LICENSED PERSON.

This may complicate us from obtaining our belongings in and out of the shed.  But please comply or we will be subjected to this new ruling by the City of Whiting. 

I appreciate everyone's compliance with this issue as these rules are completely out of my control.

Thank You,

Mike Hill

RE: BOAT LAUNCHING

WRBC MEMBERS,

Apparently the dredging of our launch is complete.  Even though I have not been informed officially, I would assume that you can now launch from our docks unless there are barricades or signage stating NOT TO LAUNCH.

I apologize for the late notice on this issue.

Thank You,
