Happy Holidays, Security Cameras, A Member Lost and A Members Health Concern

To All WRBC Members,


RE:    HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I would just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. As our first year in our new club building comes to an end, I want to thank everyone who helped not only in the move but in the success of obtaining a beautiful place for our club not only to meet in, but to enjoy for many years to come.

RE:    A MEMBER LOST - JEROME DROSOS

We recently had one member Jerome Drosos pass away Dec. 8, 2016. We did send a card with a monetary donation to the family. Unfortunately his mother also passed away a few days after.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

RE:    A MEMBERS HEALTH - MIC WISNIEWSKI

A  short update on Mic Wisniewski's health condition. He has been on chemo therapy to attempt to fight his lung cancer. If you find time, I am sure he would appreciate a card to help him get through this fight.

His address is:    Mic Wisniewski
                            2140 Lake Avenue
                            Whiting, IN 46394

Again our thoughts and prayers are with Mic and his family.

RE:    SECURITY CAMERAS

I would like to inform everyone that security cameras have been installed inside our building and are operating currently. We are the only ones who have access to the videos. There are also cameras now installed on the outside of our building, the outside of the lifeguard building and throughout the parking area of Whihala Park. All these cameras are controlled by the City of Whiting. I have also been informed that if I would need access to any of those videos, I would be allowed to view them through the City.


Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and SAFE New Year.

RE: DOCK PARTY 2016

I would like to thank everyone who helped make this years first Dock Party at our new facility a huge success.

I don't know if you all have any idea of how much effort goes into making this event a success.  It takes weeks of planning and purchasing food, prizes, etc. for everyone to enjoy a truly wonderful event.

First of all, thank you to those who showed up early to help move tables, set up tents, shuck corn, set up the inside of the building and everything else.  Fortunately, the weather cooperated and we had a great first Dock Party at our new facility.

I would like to point out a special thanks again to Yolanda and Helene for their continuing support in making sure everyone had enough to eat and that the games, kids table were set up, for all kids to enjoy.

Also, I want to thank Mike Zralka for always making sure everyone is checked in and the wine is distributed.

In addition, Bob Mehok, Treasurer who always makes sure that not only is the wine purchased, the corn, supplies and all our food is ordered and paid for but also helps in every aspect of making sure that raffled prizes, chances and his goofy jokes are appreciated by all.

There are a few others that stand out helping us.

Thanks to Jack Benko for his kegerator, Mike Zavesky for always making sure we have water, pop, juice boxes, wine & beer. Rick Stack for every year supplying music for every ones entertainment.  A special thanks to George Timko for obtaining the permit from the City giving us our picnic tables, garbage cans and making sure that the building was ready to go.  I want to thank the ladies and gentlemen, children also who hung around after the event ended to help clean and put away everything in its place.

If I have missed anyone who contributed to the Dock Party, I apologize in advance.

We always thank Jillian from Cabela's for their generous donations to all of our functions.

I hope everyone had as good of time as I did.  We no longer have to depend on tents and port-a-potties.

Looking forward to seeing you all in January at Post 80 for our Election Dinner 2017.

Please note that January, February and March meetings will be held at Post 80.

Thanks Again.
