control of a marina just beyond
the jurisdiction of District of

construct and operate a

With this, we will also build
facilities for. the club's social
functions, . This club also en-
courages boating tourists and

At present we have 6 directors

are from Terrace, This will
give us better area represen-

interest in Terrace and
surrounding areas to join this
