LAKE ASSOCIATION TO SPONSOR SAFE BOATING COURSE
LAKE ASSOCIATION TO SPONSOR SAFE BOATING COURSE
The Lake of the Wood Improvement Assn. Will sponsor a Boating Safety Course at the Webster Library, Phelps and St. Marys St. In downtown Decatur; Saturday June 14, 2008, from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM. The course will be presented by the Van Buren County Sheriff Department in cooperation with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. There is no charge for this course and successful students will be awarded their certificate at the conclusion of the class.
Michigan Law states: “Boaters born after December 3l, l978 are REQUIRED to have a valid Boater Safety Certificate to operate a watercraft on Michigan waterways.” The minimum age for operating a personal watercraft is 14. This course will fulfill that Michigan requirement. It is also an excellent educational opportunity for anyone considering the purchase of a boat or present boat owners that have never taken a Boating Safety Course and learned the simple rules of the waterways.
Participants must be 12 years of age. PRE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED by June 7, 2008 Contact: Vice President Larry Ralston 269-423-8810. Give your Name, Address, Age, Date of Birth and Telephone number. Students are to bring along a sack lunch and a pencil and paper. We encourage adult participation to brush up on the latest boating rules and regulations.
The Lake of the Woods Improvement Assn. Is pleased to cooperate with Law
enforcement agencies in order to make the Boating experience safer and more
fun for everyone.
