Is your boat water ready???  Does it carry all the required equipment to keep you and your passengers safe?  Do you know what safety items are required by Ohio Boating Laws? It’s a good idea to find out before it’s too late.  Why not consider participating in a Vessel Safety Check scheduled for Sunday afternoon, July 28, 2019 at the docks by the Clubhouse?

Your Roaming Shores Community Preparedness Club is coordinating this event with our ODNR representative.  This is a great opportunity to have your boat checked to ensure all is in order.  The ODNR representative will board your boat and validate you are in compliance with all required safety items.  If your boat is found to be in compliance, you will be given a safety sticker you can put on your boat letting everyone know your vessel was inspected and found to be in order.  No fines will be imposed and you have an opportunity to correct the findings.  If you are lacking anything, what better way to find out before you are subject to any fines or worse yet… you discover something is missing during an emergency situation. 

This is a completely voluntary exercise.  The process will begin around noon and take about 20 minutes for each boat.  We are asking that you RSVP  your intention by sending and email to rscpclub@gmail.com or by contacting the Association Office at 440-563-3170.  Please include your name, your email and/or your phone number.  We will let you know what time you should be present for your vessel check. 

In order to prepare for this and even if you are unable to attend, you may want to check the following website which provides a list of Safety items required for your particular boat. https://www.usps.org/national/vsc/formtool_files/a7012.pdf

My thanks to the Roaming Shores Citizens Preparedness Club and to Roaming Shores Police Chief, Will Roskos for coordinating this event.  We hope to have a full afternoon so send your RSVP as soon as possible!  You may also email the club with any questions you have.

Hoping you find this as a positive post!  I heard a new song last night… main phrase… “be nice, I promise it will change your life”!!  Loved it!!!

We all have strong opinions about our community, but one thing we all share is that it’s ours! We live here. Some of us all the time, some of us just part of the time.  Nevertheless, it’s our community and our neighborhoods.

One of the Shores’ newest club is the Roaming Shores Community Preparedness Club.  It exists for one reason… to make our community stronger and a better place to live.  We just held two events: 

A family water safety event and a great seminar on Senior Care.  They were both excellent and wonderful information was shared by experts in the specific fields.  The only downside… they were very sparsely attended.  Everyone has such a busy schedule and it is hard to find time to fit in anything extra!

Our club meets the third Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Clubhouse.  Will Roskos, our Roaming Shores Police Chief is our community liaison.  Our mission is to provide support, education and awareness to better prepare each one of us to handle emergencies, difficult situations and natural or man-made disasters.  We focus on practicality and what we can reasonably provide.

We are looking for more neighbors to join us.  Try to attend and pay attention to programs that are offered.  I promise it won’t be a waste of your time!!!

If you have any questions or want more specific information, please email us.  A special thanks to Christina White, one of our own here in the Shores, who coordinated the Senior Care event.  Watch for more.  It doesn’t matter your age… there is valuable information for all demographics!

Have a great day and start singing my new favorite song…. be nice I promise it will change your life!!!

I hope to see a few of you on Monday night!!

The STARS Club’s first Winery Bus Tour of the year was held on June 15th. Despite the rain, the group had a great time visiting Stonegait Winery, Laurentia Viveyard, and Laurello Vineyards. We did not get the opportunity to visit Cask307 as it was not yet open and Silver Crest Cellars closed before we made it over. No big deal, we stopped at Laurello instead. We all had a wonderful time and hope you can join us next time! The next tour will be held October 5th.
