Just a reminder that this months meeting which is the Election Dinner 2021 will be held at the American Legion, Post 80, 2003 Indianapolis Boulevard, Whiting, IN (219) 659-0215 which is on the corner across from Walgreens. This will be our official Election Dinner 2021.  It will begin at 6PM. Food and Drinks will be provided.  If you could, please bring desserts.  It would be much appreciated.

We were asked by Walgreens Management to not park in their Parking Lot.  If you do, your vehicle will

be towed at your own expense.

We were asked to practice social distancing and wear a mask by the Whiting American Legion, Post 80.

So, please bring a mask to wear. We will provide masks for some but not for everyone.

Adi Cruz from the City of Whiting will be there to hand out Whiting Park Parking Stickers for any Boat Club Member who has currently paid.

We will also be holding a Ballot Election for Nominees Wally Kimmich and Jack Vetrozky for the Board Member position replacing Mike Kometz who is now retired. Mike has been a Boat Club Member and Board Member for many years. He has been a great contribution to this club and will be truly missed.

Hope to see you at the Election Dinner.

COMMODORES UPDATE: RESCHEDULED ELECTION DINNER 2021 AND UPCOMING MONTHLY MEETING

 TO:    All WRBC Members

RE:    RESCHEDULED ELECTION DINNER WILL BE ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2021 AT 6PM

There was a special meeting called for the WRBC Board of Directors and Officers to meet on Saturday, January 16, 2021.  It was decided at this meeting to postpone the yearly Election Dinner 2021, which would of been held this Month, January.

The Election Dinner 2021 will now be rescheduled to the last Tuesday, February 23, 2021 at 6PM, do to the ongoing issues with the Coronavirus. 

The February Election Dinner 2021 will be held at Whiting's American Legion, Post 80 across from Walgreens on the corner of Indianapolis Boulevard.  It will begin at 6PM.  Everyone is encouraged to follow safety guidelines of social distancing and wearing a mask.  Adi Cruz, City of Whiting, Superintendent of Parks has again graciously offered to attend the meeting so that you may pick up your Whiting Parking Stickers after you have paid your WRBC 2021 Membership dues.

For anyone who does not know Adi Cruz, has been promoted to City of Whiting, Superintendent of the Parks and is now our single contact for the City.  She has informed me that she will do everything she can to work with us in the future.

RE:    UPCOMING MONTHLY MEETING, TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2021 AT 7PM AT WRBC BUILDING 

Since there will be "NO" Election Dinner in January, we have decided to have a regular monthly meeting instead at the end of this Month on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 7PM, to be held at our Boat Club building.  Dues can also be paid at this meeting but Whiting Parking Stickers will not be available.

We are planning to hold a meeting with the new Mayor of the City of Whiting, Steve Spebar, in the very near future, to determine our next 5 years rental status and acquiring our long standing 24/7 access to Whiting Park, the boat launch and our facility.  You will be updated on the results of that meeting.

_____________________________________________________________________

You will be receiving a letter in the mail soon with information regarding the above events.  Unfortunately we continue to lose members to our club.  I don't know if this is do to the effects of the virus or not.  If you have not paid last years dues, you will be receiving a special notice from WRBC Treasurer, Bob Mehok waiving any kind of penalties to continue your membership for 2021.  We need to maintain a solid membership in order for this club to remain solvent.

I hope to see you all at the regular January Meeting 2021 and at the rescheduled February Election Dinner 2021, as there has been some changes to the Board of Directors.

I hope everyone had a good Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.  Let's all hope that the year 2021 is a far better one than last year proved to be. 

Thank you and hope to see you soon,

Mike Hill
