RE: THE HARBOR
I have received and observed many boats being able to utilize our harbor as is. In fact, last Saturday,
there was a 24 foot fully enclosed aluminum Alaskan boat that was able to launch and transverse our
harbor out into and back from the lake. This is very encouraging for at least most of us who have
smaller boats and want to utilize our harbor for the summer.
Again, a reminder, that the City of Whiting will dredge even deeper in September. So, we should be
good to go with no issues next Spring.

RE: BUILDING AND GROUNDS CLEAN-UP SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 2022 AT 10AM
Again, this year like every year, we will be conducting a clean-up of our building inside and outside
on the grounds to keep it in good shape. I am asking for volunteers at this time to join us in this
clean-up effort. We will be mopping floors, cleaning windows, dusting, and anything else that needs
to be addressed both inside and outside of the building.
We will also be scrubbing down our picnic tables with deck wash and at a later date will seal them
again to preserve them for as long as we can.
I would like to thank you in advance for anyone who is willing to help. When we are finished, there
will be food and drink provided. The date for this is Saturday, June 11, 2022 starting at 10AM.
Hope to see you there.

RE: PERCH DERBY ON JUNE 25, 2022 AT 6AM --- (RAIN DATE JULY 9, 2022)
I have been informed by Mike Zavesky who runs our derby's that he has received no applications
for this derby. You still have time to get into this derby and as earlier stated, our harbor is usable.
Please let's make this as in past years a great outing.
If you feel you don't trust launching from our harbor, we still have the OK to launch from Hammond
Marina FREE OF CHARGE. Make sure you have your Membership Card with you if you intend to
launch from there.
We need good involvement whenever we have these types of events to keep our club active.
There will be plenty of food and prizes, so please sign up & come and have some fun. You can
always contact Mike Zavesky if you have lost your application form.
Check in time is at 6AM at the boat club building. Even if you are a little late, there will be a sign
in sheet available. Fishing time is from 6:30AM to 1:30PM. Weigh in is at 2PM SHARP!
NO ACCEPTIONS!! Entrance Fees are $10 for Members and Spouses, $20 for Non Members.
$5 for Kids under 15 years of age in the "Kids Category". There will be special prizes for kids.
Please try to get your application turned in by June 15, 2022 or call Mike Zavesky at (708) 259-9009.
Small craft advisories go up after the start of the derby. All boats must return to port to check out,
or be determined ineligible.
There is a Rain Date for the Perch Derby that being July 9, 2022. All the same rules apply.
Again, let's have a good turn out for this event.
Mike Hill
