I follow the Great Lakes Boating Federation because I’m excited by their tireless efforts to support the needs of recreational boaters on the Great Lakes. I’ve heard that the membership fees don’t even cover their costs, but they are out there constantly protecting what we enjoy so much.

Who was there to urge the government to support boating with funding for improvements? Who has been there trying to earn us a voice on congressional boards, so that we can be heard? The Great Lakes Boating Federation.

I want to thank them for their much needed support. Recently they demanded a better report from the U.S. Corps of Engineers, questioning the accuracy of the report released. And they hailed the government for the funding that the region has received.

I wonder if there is something more I can do, beside being a member myself, to help them succeed in their pursuit of keeping boating this country’s family pastime.
