More About Us...
The Anchor Bay Yachting Association, with
funds raised from club membership dues and money generated from the
various events we put on, is able to return this money to the boating
community.
Some of the programs and organizations that we have made donations
to, sponsored, or promoted over the years include: Macomb County
Sheriff’s Dept. Marine Division, St. Clair County Sheriff’s Dept.
Marine Division, Wayne County Sheriff’s Dept Marine Division, Great
Lakes Division of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadets and the Pride of
Michigan, Boat Town Parade of Lights, Venetian Festival of Lights,
SOS Foundations (Save Our South Channel Lights), and Miss Boat Town
Beauty Pageant.
Some equipment that we were able to provide to these organizations
and programs include: 2 cardiac defibrillators, laser range finders,
“NO WAKE” buoys at entrance to Metro-Beach and Clinton River, The
Marine Safety Book Program, “NO WAKE” charts, Life Jacket program
and Bobby the Boat, a robot which is used in boating education and
awareness aimed at our youngsters. These do not represent all the
organizations that we have supported nor does this go into great
detail as to what type of support they have received from us.
The Anchor Bay Yachting Association represents 29 boat, sail
and yacht clubs with approximately 5,000 members from Lake St. Clair
to Black River in Port Huron. As we start our 41st year you can see
a lot has been accomplished since its formation. However there is
still a lot to do when it comes to safety in and around the water
and the preservation of our waterways.
