Dear Rehoboth Bay Sailing Association Member:

 

    The Rehoboth Bay Foundation (RBF) is a nonprofit charitable organization founded by and based at the Rehoboth Bay Sailing Association.  Now in its sixteenth year of operation, the Foundation’s purposes include the advancement of water conservation, water safety, wetlands preservation, development of athletic programs including sailing school and tennis clinics, sponsoring related education activities for the underprivileged, and other related activities for the preservation of natural resources. 

    Thank you to all the members who have donated to the Rehoboth Bay Foundation in the past.  In 2007, the Foundation identified and contributed financially to projects that reflect positively on RBSA and furthered the Foundation’s mission. A sampling of these contributions includes education programs at the Center for the Inland Bays (James Farm); the boating education of the Sea Scouts of Sussex County; and swimming instruction for financially disadvantaged children at the Sussex YMCA. This year also, the RBF made a donation to the U.S. Coast Guard, Indian River Station.  Also, the Foundation was the first to grant monies to assist in the restoration of the World II tower (oceanside) opposite the RBSA clubhouse. And finally Delaware River & Bay Lighthouse Foundation and Delmarva Low Impact Tourism Experiences received money.

    Rehoboth Bay Foundation endeavors are funded by financial donations and by the donation of boats and trailers that the Foundation either uses for its programs or sells to support its programs. It is primarily RBSA volunteers who plan and run the events held at the Club and the Foundation’s Board especially welcomes member’s suggestions of new projects and programs.        

    In order to continue the Foundation’s work, please help by making an end-of-the-year tax deductible, donation to the RBF and/or by donating a boat or trailer that you may have at the Club but no longer use.  You may also chose to give through the United Way of Delaware—the write-in number is 9345.

     If you would like additional information about the Rehoboth Bay Foundation or would like to donate a boat, please contact Foundation President Teri Munz (see direct contact information.)  Or (also new this year) contact our web site, which is found through a link at RBSA.ORG.

     We extend very best wishes for the Holiday Season from both the Foundation and the Club.

 

Sincerely,
