Our intent ig to build as large a marina as needed to meet the demands of the boating public, and expand the facilities te meet the future boaters, In order to have enough financing to embark on all of these. programs, we propose to construct and operate a licensed lounge and restaurant. With this, we will also build facilities for. the club's social functions, . This club also en- courages boating tourists and ’ will supply moorage for these ople. At present we have 6 directors and hope to add 4 more tem- porary directors, three of which are from Terrace, This will give us better area represen- tation as we found a very keen interest in Terrace and surrounding areas to join this - lub. . The club membership is open to anyone, and we are slill signing on members. We propose that we plan the building of this marina Logether with the Regional District and . all interested partiés, Once the “was the-only source from which -fands /could be obtained. - .
