DREDGING POSTPONED - NEW SHED ASSEMBLY VOLUNTEERS - LAST MEETING OF THE YEAR - ELECTION DINNER JANUARY 2019

WRBC MEMBERS:
 
RE:    DREDGING DATE CHANGE

I was informed on 9-27-2018 by Bruce Stolman that the dredging at the harbor will be postponed until October 10, 2018 do to inability to obtain certain parts for the dredge. Once the dredging begins, the docks will be closed. The dredging should only take a couple weeks so bear with it.

I have attempted to contact Milan at the Hammond Marina and have not heard back from him.
So please do not assume that you can launch at the Hammond Marina for free at this time.

RE:    NEW SHED ASSEMBLY - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Bob and I picked up the shed 9-27-2018 and delivered it to the boat club building. Once the ground is leveled out, we will definitely need some strong backed volunteers to help with the assembly. The shed is extremely heavy. I will let everyone know when we are ready to start the assembly project.

RE:    LAST MEETING IN OCTOBER 2018

Just a reminder that the last boat club meeting this year will be on Tuesday, October 30, 2018 @ 7PM.

For all the new members, keep in mind that just because we are not meeting in November or December does not mean the building is closed. Boat Club Members still have 24/7 access to the building and launch.

RE:    ELECTION DINNER 2019

Hope to see you all in January 2019 at the Election Dinner which will be held at the Whiting American Legion Post 80 on the corner across from Walgreens on Indianapolis Boulevard as we have always held there in the past.

Per Management, please do not park in the Walgreens Parking Lot or your vehicle will be towed away.

More information will follow in the future regarding this event.

Thank you for your cooperation in these matters.

RE: DREDGING & CLOSED LAUNCH

MEMBERS:


I was informed by the City of Whiting, Bruce Stolman that the City will begin to dredge the Whiting-Robertsdale Harbor this coming Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2018.

This will last until close to the end of October. The launch facility will be closed during this time as it was in the Spring of this year.

I have contacted Milan from the Port Authority at the Hammond Marina to obtain the OK for our membership to launch there free of charge.

I am still waiting on his response.  I don't feel this will be a problem as he has accommodated us in the past.

South Shore Beer Fest - Cancelled - Dredging Starting Instead

WRBC Members:

The South Shore Beer Fest has been cancelled by the city, so please disregard the previous post with the details.

In it's place the city has decided to go ahead with dredging the boat launch again and based on current information this will start this coming Wednesday Sept 26th and go through the end of November. So during this time the boat launch will be closed. Once we have more details we will send out another alert. Milan from Hammond is being contacted for permission to launch from there, once we hear back from him another alert will be sent out.

Thanks,
