There was a Motion Approved to purchase a laptop and printer for documenting and keeping records for the Club. It was also Approved to get a video surveillance system installed in the Club and surrounding property. These issues will be addressed and purchased in the very near future.

Please continue to enjoy this Club building, as it is you Club.

Remember to follow all the rules if you have guests or family in the Club building. "You" are personally responsible for them.

There were paper towel dispensers, garbage cans & towels donated by Mike Zavesky Rear-Commodore of our Club for both bathrooms. They will be installed in the near future.

George Timko's brother "Hank", a long time WRBC Member is currently battling Lymphoma. This is a severe cancer, very aggressive, and is in the hospital at this time. Our prayers and thoughts are with him. If you would like to send cards or well wishes, please use his home address as follows:

Also, Rich Stack has stepped up and accepted the position of Vice-Commodore and was approved by the Board and voted in to fill in this position for the remaining term this year of Guy Benne.

Remember that our Dock Party is Saturday, September 10, 2016, at the Boat Club building.
Please get your Dock Party response form and raffle tickets in as soon as possible, so that we can accurately order food and drinks.

Again, anyone willing to bring desserts or salads are encouraged, this helps our bottom line.

Hope to see you there.
