Greeting IRBA Members
As a cold and snowy winter season comes to an end, we look forward to warmer
weather and the upcoming 2010 boating season.
The IRBA board of directors has been working hard this winter to accommodate
many of your suggestions and requests. You will notice that we have changed
our picnic and tournament dates so that it does not interfere with your family
holiday plans. We have made the tournament more user friendly and more in
tune with the present fishing opportunities.
With the availability of the new conference room in the new Marina building, we
will finally be able to put on some seminars where everyone can be comfortable
and see and hear what is going on. For example, if there is enough interest, we
will invite the Red Cross in to give some classes on CPR and Marine first aid. We
are seeking your input so we can schedule seminars on different topics that are
of interest to everyone.
This year, instead of having a Labor Day picnic which has not been very
popular, we have added a year end dinner. This will take place at the end of the
Striper Tournament and will be held at a local restaurant.
We have kept our membership rates the same as last year and have done our
part to keep our expenses in check (hear that Washington!) The IRBA really
needs your support to help keep our organization alive and well. We will
continue to represent all of you who enjoy boating and fishing in Delaware's Bays
and Ocean.
IRBA will also continue to work as a liaison between the slip holders and the
State Marina.
Please send in your membership form and payment today to reactivate your
2010 IRBA Membership.
Thank you.
Rick Levinson
IRBA President
