RE: PASSING OF BOAT CLUB MEMBER, JOSEPH A. CIARROCCHI
Joseph A. Ciarrocchi: Visitation information at Elmwood Funeral Chapel in St. John
Here is a direct link to the GoFundMe page for Joe Ciarrocchi and his family. Please take a moment to check it out and see if you may be able to assist.
RE: PARKING STICKER
Please make sure that you obtain your 2019 Boat Club Parking Sticker if you have not already. As of 5-22-2019 the City has started their parking patrols and enforcement.
If you attempt to park in the Whiting Park area without a sticker, you will be subject to a fine of not less than $50.00 for your first offense. The Boat Club will not reimburse you for this fine. It is your responsibility to get your Parking Sticker and affix it to your windshield on the left lower corner. That doesn't mean laying it on your dashboard. It has to be attached to the windshield.
RE: 5TH ANNUAL KIDS FISHING DAY - JUNE 1, 2019 9AM-NOON at the HAMMOND MARINA VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
WRBC is going to sponsor 30 kids this year at our 5th Annual Kids Fishing Day Event. So if anyone who is able to
volunteer to help us, please show up no later than 9AM by the boat
launch at the Hammond Marina. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Let's teach these kids the enjoyment of fishing.
RE: BUOYS
I was informed by the Park Department that the navigational buoys should be installed in the harbor sometime this week weather permitting. This will help aid navigation in and out of the harbor to Lake Michigan.
Remember to raise your lower unit and go slow keeping your vessel dead center of the channel that leads Out and In - as it shallows up if you drift North or South.
We have already had one prop destroyed.
The foundation of the shed is complete and we should shortly complete construction of the new shed in the patio area.
Thank you for your cooperation in these matters.
Hope to see you at next months meeting.

WRBC Commodore
P.S. Salmon fishing has been tremendous again this season and the perch are starting to hit.
Enjoy your boating and fishing and as always, be safe. If it isn't safe, don't go.
