COMMODORES UPDATE - SUBJECTS: BEACH CLEAN UP - PERCH DERBY - BUILDING CLEAN UP - KIDS FISHING DAY - MEMBERSHIP DUES - 2020 WHITING PARKING STICKER

TO:  WRBC MEMBERS

RE:    WRBC BEACH CLEAN UP

I have been in contact with Jim Hoop and Mike Turnipseed about the upcoming Beach Clean Up. It has been decided that we will conduct a beach clean up on Whihala Beach scheduled for Saturday, June 27, 2020 at 10AM. Rain Date will be on Sunday, June 28, 2020 at 10AM.  Please meet at the Boat Club building. There is a sign up sheet currently at the Boat Club building, but if you want to participate, please just show up as this will help our continued support for the City of Whiting.  Bags will be provided and a lunch. Lets have a great turn out because the North winds have really piled up a lot of junk along the entire beach.

RE:    WRBC PERCH DERBY

After speaking with Mike Zavesky we have decided to proceed with having our annual Perch Derby on Saturday, July 11, 2020 at 6:30AM to 1:30PM.  Rain Date will be Sunday, July 12, 2020. Please disregard the date that you may have received in your Membership envelopes. That date is wrong. All the other information on the form is correct. I am sure Mike will accept any boats who are interested in being included in this contest the day of the Derby. For more information or questions regarding the Perch Derby, please contact Mike Zavesky at (708) 259-9009.

RE:    WRBC BUILDING CLEAN  UP
 
As we do every year we want to keep our Boat Club building as clean as possible. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to spend a little time helping clean the inside and the outside of our building. I am sure anyone who has been in the building can see that the dust and dirt is beginning to accumulate and is needed to be scrubbed down, cleaned and decontaminated especially with this Covid-19. There is a sign up sheet for anyone who would be willing to volunteer.  There is no current date set at this time, but it will most likely be at the end of August or early September.  So please keep your calendars open.

RE:    WRBC KIDS FISHING DAY 

Kids Fishing Day is still scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2020.  It will be held at the Hammond Marina.  Again, there is a sign up sheet for anyone wanting to volunteer.  Do to this years pandemic, we truly need as many volunteers as possible.

RE:    WRBC 2020 MEMBERSHIP DUES

Bob Mehok has informed me that only 109 WRBC Members have paid their dues.  We have an outstanding number of 49 Members who are delinquent.  We will not assess any late fee for anyone who has not paid so far. 

Please mail in your dues/payment to: 

Bob Mehok, 9838 Red Bud Road, Munster, IN 46321 OR  pay your dues in person at the next Boat Club meeting on Tuesday, June 30, 2020 at 7PM. 

When you receive your new 2020 WRBC Membership Card, please go to Whiting City Hall to pick up your 2020 Whiting Parking Sticker. Please keep in mind without a strong membership this club could be on the brink of dissolving.

RE:     2020 WHITING PARKING STICKER

Whiting City Hall is now open for business. If you have not picked up your 2020 Whiting Parking Sticker from Whiting City Hall, please do so as soon as possible. 

Please make sure you have your 2020 WRBC Membership Card on your person to show the City Clerk. Without the WRBC Membership Card, you will not be permitted to get your current Whiting Parking Sticker.

The City of Whiting is ticketing vehicles with old 2019 Parking Stickers that are no longer valid.  

If your vehicle does not have a current 2020 Whiting Parking Sticker on it, you may be ticketed with a fine and or worse your vehicle will be towed away.

I want to thank you all in advance for anything that you may be willing to volunteer for.

Please keep in mind that we are at this point back to normal conducting meetings on the last Tuesday of every month at 7PM held at the WRBC building. Hope to see you all on Tuesday, June 30, 2020 at 7PM.
