RE: FRONT DOOR LOCK WORKING
As many of you are aware, we had fixed the striker on the door a few weeks ago, and it failed. We have now installed a second new striker
that seems to be working so far.
Please use the new code that is on the back of your membership card to gain entrance into the club. Thank you for your patience.

club continue forward.
Anyone interested in this position, please contact Board Member in Charge of Elections, Bob Egan at (773) 447-6451 OR Myself, Mike Hill at (219) 937-2211.
Please help this historic club to continue to exist. We need you.

RE: UPDATE ON WEATHER BUG CAMERA
I have been in contact with our WRBC I.T. Web Manager, Norm to get our WeatherBug camera access back onto our website. He informed me that the City of Whiting changed these cameras to high-definition cameras. This has caused a problem for our website, as it will not accommodate high-definition cameras unless we are willing to pay $41.00 per month for the use of these cameras. That equates to $492.00 a year for us just to be able to see the lake condition. Norm is currently working on finding a way to get this convenience reactivated at little to no cost as we previously had.
Please be patient and occasionally check the website to see when and if it has been activated.

RE: WRBC DOCK PARTY - SEPTEMBER 9, 2023
As we have stressed in every meeting and in my Commodores Updates the importance of getting your Dock Party applications in the mail to us.
This is extremely important, as we want to have a good turnout but not to over or under spend for food and beverages. The sooner you can get this information to us, the better. You can mail your forms to our Boat Club address at: WRBC, P. O. Box 749, Whiting, IN 46394 OR contact Boat Club Treasurer, Bob Mehok at (219)644-9454. Hope to see you all there.

RE: WRBC KIDS FISHING DAY - SEPTEMBER 23, 2023
Just a reminder, our annual WRBC Kids Fishing Day will be held on September 23, 2023 at the Hammond Marina as in the past. If you are interested, you can sign up at the Whiting Chamber of Commerce Office on 1417 119th Street, Whiting, IN OR contact Barb Maul at (219) 743-3231. In my opinion this is one of the best
activities that the club does for the future of our young fisher people.
We do need many volunteers for this activity to make it a success. So please give a few hours of your time and help us make this a huge success as it has been in the past.
Hope you all have a great & safe 4th of July.
Mike Hill
WRBC Commodore
