Thank you RRKA & LKRA

Capt. Henry Sautin
Rock River Safety Patrol

Henry,

The Lake Koshkonong Recreation Assn. jointly with Rock River Koshkonong Assn., Midwest Industries, Big Rivers Ltd. & Harbor Recreation Inc. have purchased, assembled and are installing the boat lift for use with the patrol boat. Additionally a repair was made to the lift operator for the new lift.

The price of this lift is a market value of more than $4,228.00. Through the generosity of the service organizations, manufacturer, distributor, dealer, the costs of and associated with this are met in total.

Working together we trust the public will be best served for safety and sensible operation of watercraft. We find the vigilant patrol and continued support by the Townships involved in the financial support for this valuable service indispensable. With the increases in activity on the water this past year we certainly hope the Townships will make every effort to enhance the patrol with additional funds to make an even larger contribution the safety on the water.

The revenue generation due to tourism, boating, fishing in our area is only possible with a reasonable and safe area within which to do so.

The creation of a formal Safety Patrol and the work of the board members over the years are much appreciated. I can also report to the Board that many people have told me “We would not be back here if there wasn’t adequate on water patrol”. Families who enjoy boating and other water activities recognize the benefit in by the presence of such a service. The “scoff laws” never cease to show up time to time and Capt. Sautin and officers who take pride in their jobs do all of us a great and valuable service.

Sincerely,

Jerry Richardson, Treas.
