SUBJECT:      Annual Donation Request – Rehoboth Bay Foundation

 

 

As a result of the generous donations made by RBSA members last year to the Association’s Foundation, the Rehoboth Bay Foundation (RBF), the Club was able to conduct a truly outstanding sailing and water safety program for 50 children of Delaware Army and Air Force National Guard members.  Many of these children had a parent who was currently deployed or was or had been deployed.  This past summer’s program was the largest – and most expensive – activity that the Foundation has sponsored.  In addition to financial contributions, many RBSA members volunteered to help conduct the program and all will testify to its success.

 

RBSA would like to offer this program again this coming summer and the Foundation needs your support in order to be able to do this plus continue its support of other important programs.  The Foundation’s mission is to promote water safety, preserve natural resources, and sponsor education programs for sailing, tennis and marine related activities for children who would not otherwise have access.

 

In addition to the program conducted for the children of National Guard Members, other activities and programs supported by the Foundation this past year include the local Sea Scouts Ship 198, Coast Guard Station Indian River’s moral fund, the Center for Inland Bays’ James Farm, CG Auxiliary Flotilla 12-09, Delaware River & Bay Lighthouse Foundation, and Sussex Family YMCA’s program for swimming/water safety lessons for disadvantaged youth. 

 

YOUR CONTINUED HELP IS VITAL:  You can help the RBF to continue its programs through either your tax deductible contributions and/or the donation of a boat or trailer that is no longer in use.  You may also contribute to the RBF through the United Way of Delaware – the write-in number is 9345.

 

For additional information about the Rehoboth Bay Foundation, please go to RBSA’s website www.rbsa.org, or contact any member of the Board of Directors.

 

We thank you for your continued support and, on behalf of both the Foundation and the Club, we extend very best wishes for the Holiday Season.
