COMMODORES UPDATE - SUBJECTS: DOCK PARTY WILL BE HELD - THE KIDS FISHING DAY

TO: ALL BOAT CLUB MEMBERS RE: DOCK PARTY WILL BE HELD SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2020 AT 2PM

For those of you who attended the last Boat Club Meeting on August 25, 2020, we put to a vote that this years dock party would only be held if there was a minimum of 50 members who submitted their attendance forms indicating that they and their guests would attend. As of this date, we have received 56 responses of Members and Guests who will be attending. So this years dock party will be held.

Again, for everyone who is going to attend, we are asking that you bring a dessert and/or salad. We are working now on insuring that everyone can drive in and park at our club building parking lot.

In addition, we are looking for a few volunteers to come to the club building to help set up at around 10AM Saturday, September 12, 2020.

If you still have outstanding raffle tickets, please get them either to my office in the Boat Club building and slide under the door or mail to: WRBC P. O. Box 749, Whiting, IN 46394. We will accept them also the day of the dock party prior to 6PM.

Just a reminder the party starts at 2PM. Dinner at 4PM and the Raffle Drawing at 6PM.

With the Corona Virus, if you feel that you need to wear a mask, please bring one. The Boat Club WILL NOT be providing masks.

IF YOU ARE NOT FEELING WELL, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND THIS EVENT.

We will do everything to attempt social distancing. Temperatures will be taken for everyone as you sign in. The Boat Club has purchased a thermal temperature gauge and we will be taking everyone's temperature at the check in. You and Guests will be asked to sign a sign in sheet as you are checked in.

This has been an extremely strange and difficult year for the entire nation as you are aware. We would like to finish our year as in the past with our annual dock party.

  RE: ANNUAL KIDS FISHING DAY - SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2020

We are again this year going to hold our Annual Kids Fishing Day outing on Saturday, September 26, 2020. We do need a good turn out of volunteers for this event to be effective this year. So please, if you can volunteer, be at the Hammond Marina by the launch area at 8AM the morning of Saturday, September 26, 2020. We are expecting approximately 30 children and parents.

As in the past we will supply food, drinks and snacks for all.

If you have any questions, or would like to volunteer, please contact Jim Madison at (219) 776-0335 or Bob Mehok at (219) 644-9454 or Myself at (219) 937-2211.

Masks are recommended but WILL NOT be supplied by the Boat Club. We will be taking thermal temperatures of everyone as they are signed in.

Lets make this strenuous year end on a positive note for our club and the future of fishing "the children".

Thank you in advance for anyone willing to help with this event. Be safe and thank your for your cooperation in these matters.

Hope to see you there,

Mike Hill
