COMMODORES NOTES: SUBJECT: GATE KEY LOCK BOX, LAUNCHING AT WHIHALA PIER, AND MEMBERSHIP DUES DEADLINE JULY 31, 2026

TO:  WRBC MEMBERS


RE:  GATE KEY LOCK BOX

For those of you who do not attend our WRBC meetings, the Mayor of Whiting has given us permission to stay parked either with a trailer or not in our Whiting Park Whihala parking area 7AM until 10PM.  Normally, the gates will be opened early by the Whiting Police Department.

We have purchased a key lock box that will be attached in the near future to the 117th Street, Whiting Park Gate.  We have to be vigilant about keeping this lock box secure.  

When you use this access, YOU MUST BE SURE TO LOCK THE GATE AND BOX BEHIND YOU. 

This has been a long time coming, so please do not mess this up. It will only take a couple of mistakes to get this privilege taken away.


Anyone requiring the lock box code should contact myself at (219) 381-6419, or Bob Mehok at (219) 644-9454 or Mike Zralka at (773) 852-4136. You will be required to give your membership number, as we will monitor our current membership list.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

RE:     LAUNCHING AT WHIHALA PIER

Just a brief update, the Whihala Launch & Harbor are open now for launching any boat 18 foot or under and jet skis to the main lake. You will need to keep to the far left along the rock wall.  Please go slow and stay alert, as the depth is around 3 feet.
