TO: ALL BOAT CLUB MEMBERS
RE: 1-31-2023 ANNUAL ELECTION DINNER
I would like to welcome everyone to another new year at the WRBC.
This is a reminder for everyone that our Annual Election Dinner will be held on Tuesday, January 31, 2023. It will be held at the Whiting American Legion, Post 80, 121st Street & Indianapolis Blvd, across from the Walgreens parking lot on the corner. Cocktails will be at 6:00 PM, Dinner will be served at 6:30 PM, and the meeting will follow. Please do not park in the Walgreens parking lot. For they will tow your car at your expense.
Everyone should have received a letter in the mail about the Election Dinner and the times. If you can, it would be greatly appreciated to respond with the enclosed form in the letter as to if you are going to attend. You can mail these responses to the
Whiting-Robertsdale Boat Club, P. O. Box 749, Whiting, IN 46394
or
call Bob Mehok directly at 219-644-9454.
This is important so that we know an approximate number on how much food to order.
In addition, if you can, please bring a dessert.
As in the past, food and drinks will be provided.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
Adi Cruz from the City of Whiting again this year will attend the Election Dinner to pass out parking stickers to members after you pay your club dues.

RE: STOCKING OF SALMON IN THE LAKE
The IDNR has proposed four different stocking strategies. A couple of these would eliminate stocking of chinook salmon from East Chicago which would result in no new fish stock in Lake County. Mike Zralka, our club's secretary, has issued a letter opposing this. Anyone who has bought a Salmon Stamp last year should receive an email for input. You will also be able to access the survey on the Indiana DNR Facebook page posted at Facebook.com/INdnr. Our club is opposed to eliminating stocking these fish at East Chicago and Lake County. This would greatly affect not only the Charter business on our end of the lake, but also your ability to harvest salmon. Thank You.
