MEMBERS,
RE: JULY MEETING WAS CANCELED
As many of you know, those who were at the boat club building on meeting day July 30th and those of you who were stopped behind the train attempting to get to the boat club building were stuck by a stalled train that blocked both entrance ways into Whiting Park. I personally sat at 117th Street entrance from 6:20PM to 8:15PM.
I was in contact with Bob Mehok who made it across the tracks to the boat club building with about 12 members at that time and I decided to cancel the July meeting. Those that were at the boat club building actually did not get out of Whiting Park until after 9PM that night. The reason I was given for this stoppage was apparently there were NIPSCO lines blocking the tracks for this train to proceed. This is the first time for our club to have ever canceled a meeting. George Timko spoke with the Mayor about the issue. I am waiting on his update.
We will catch up on all past agendas at our next meeting at the boat club building on Tuesday, August 27, 2019 at 7PM.
I apologize to anyone who was effected by this inconvenience or as it was completely out of our control.
RE: WRBC DOCK PARTY - SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2019
Please get your dock party forms in as soon as possible, as we need a head count. This is extremely important as we need to know how many attendants will be at the party so we can order the food appropriately.
Also, don't forget to please bring a dessert if you can.
RE: CONCERNING THE TRANSIENT SLIPS & CHANNEL BUOYS
The three (3) pipes that were extending out of the slip have been removed.
I spoke with the City at the launch and they were there attempting to right and fix the ramp leading to the transient slips. I was told this should be done by next week Wednesday or shortly there after.
The channel buoys are still not in place due to the high level of the lake.
RE: GUEST SPEAKER FROM PERCH UNLIMITED AT AUGUST 27, 2019 MEETING
We will have a guest speaker Bruce, from Perch Unlimited about the ongoing walleye stocking of Wolf Lake.
Hope to see you at our August meeting.
