COMMODORES UPDATE: DOCK PARTY, BEACH CLEAN-UP & KIDS FISHING DAY

TO: WRBC MEMBERS

RE: DOCK PARTY 9-7-2024

Just a reminder that next Saturday, September 7, 2024 we will be holding our annual Dock Party. If you haven't yet sent in your Dock Party attendance slips, please do that as soon as possible, so that we can adjust our food order accordingly.

You can mail the attendance slip to WRBC P. O. Box 749, Whiting, IN 46394 OR you can call Bob Mehok at (219-644-9454), or Myself at (219-937-2211) to reserve yourself and any guests attending. 

In addition, make sure you get your raffle tickets in. You can also bring them the day of the Dock Party so your chances don't get wasted.

Also, I am asking for 4-5 volunteers to show up at the boat club building at 11AM to help set up tables, chairs, move picnic tables & clean corn on cob, etc. Thank you in advance for any help.

Just a reminder, as in the past, we are asking you to contribute salads or desserts.

RE: PARK & BEACH CLEAN-UP
 

As we do every year, this is our 2nd Park and Beach Clean-Up that will be held on Saturday, September 14, 2024 starting at 10AM. Surfer, Steve Arnam, will again be running and coordinating this event.

Please meet at the boat club building where Steve will have a tent set up. You can sign in and get a bucket or garbage bag to collect debris.

Let's have a good turn out, as we have every year in the past.

RE: KIDS FISHING DAY

Our Annual Kids Fishing Day this year will be held on Saturday, September 28, 2024 again at the Hammond Marina. The event starts at 9AM til 12 Noon. To make this event a success, we need a lot of volunteers.

Jim Madison will be running this event for this year. He is asking for 4 to 5 volunteers to be at the Hammond Marina at 8AM to help him set up his tent, prizes, signs, etc.

Also, we will need a lot more than 4 to 5 volunteers. So please, if you have an opportunity to help, even if it is only for a couple of hours, we need you.

As in the past, food and drinks will be provided and prizes for every child.

Come out and help the future fishermen of America learn how to fish.

Thank you for your cooperation and help in these events.
