COMMODORES UPDATE: PASSING OF AL SMALUK & DONATION MADE IN MEMORY OF FLO BRINGAS

 TO:    BOAT CLUB MEMBERS


SUBJECTS:    PASSING OF AL SMALUK & DONATION MADE IN MEMORY OF FLO BRINGAS

For those of you who were at our Election Dinner last month Tuesday, February 23, 2021,we did a moment of silence for all who had passed away in the year 2020.  We will now start a new tradition of trying to post these passing's on our website as they occur.

RE:    PASSING OF AL SMALUK




Let me share with you all the passing of one of our founding members of the Whiting-Robertsdale Boat Club (WRBC) Al Smaluk.  Al passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 2, 2021 at his residence.  Al was one of the original few who saw the value in having a club such as ours.  He and several others started the Whiting-Robertsdale Boat Club (WRBC) on July 1, 1941.  Al served for a number of years as the WRBC Commodore and thereafter as WRBC Treasurer for many years.  He will be truly missed by any and all who knew him.

Details on the wake and service:

RE:    DONATION MADE IN MEMORY OF FLO BRINGAS




Flo Bringas was a WRBC Member and had also passed away.  As we always do, a $50 donation was given in her name from the Boat Club. Her partner and WRBC Member, Melinda Rayter, matched that amount with another $50 given to Pets N Vets in Flo's name.

Again, from this day forward we will honor names of those who have passed from our club as we are informed and announced onto the WRBC website.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who have lost loved ones in the past.

Thank You.
Mike Hill
WRBC Commodore
