COMMODORES UPDATE: NEW WHITING PARK HOURS FOR WRBC MEMBERS IS 5AM TO 8PM - NEW GUTTERS ON CLUB BUILDING

TO:    ALL 2021 WRBC MEMBERS

RE:    NEW WHITING PARK HOURS FOR WRBC MEMBERS IS 5AM TO 8PM

I have been informed by the City of Whiting Park Superintendent the following:

1-    If boat club members are in the building and parked at the designated boat club parking spots in the lot across from the building OR if members are parked on the concrete driveway pad on the side of the club building, the boat club members are fine being parked there.  But boat club members have to be out of the park by 8PM.

NOTE:    I have requested to the City of Whiting that our designated parking area spots be secured for our club members to park in. This message will be relayed to the parking patrol and security of the park.

2-    If boat club members have a boat out in the water and trailers are in the parking lot, they are fine, but boat club members have to be out of the water and park by 8PM.

3-    The only trouble boat club members will have is during the chaos of park security trying to close up the park by getting the public out of the park between the hours of 6PM-7PM and boat club members are still trying to come into the parking lot.  It's to crazy for security to distinguish boat club members from non club members.  So, please make sure that all current boat club members carry their 2021 WRBC Membership Card to help security distinguish who is an actual WRBC member and who is not.

4-    Gates should generally be open from around 5AM to 8PM for boat club members.

5-    As in the past, if you are asked for what ever reason to exit the park, please do not get in an argument with the city officials, just comply.  Bring it to my attention & I will bring it to the attention of the Park Superintendent.

RE:    NEW GUTTERS ON CLUB BUILDING

Anyone who has been to the boat club building recently may have noticed the old gutters have been removed and have been replaced with new far sturdier gutters.  Hopefully this will resolve the leaking gutter issues.

Thank you all for your cooperation in the above matters.  We are trying our best to get back to normal.
Your patience is appreciated.
