LOCK HAVEN POST

[Robert M Keogler]

There was a post early this morning about the Lock Haven Race. Where did it go?

Looking forward to crossing the Lock after the Races and listening to the bands

The Lock Haven race has always been ‘The Second Summer Nationals’... I have never been able to attend.

You should come sometime. Believe we had close to 600 entry's last year over the 3 days.

So - What does this mean going forward?

I felt bringing this to the local medium will help with recruiting new members. As far as the race for this year, its on and we are all ready looking ahead to the 50th in 2020. I will not walk away from Labor Day and plan on being around to help train the next generation of Jaycees so the event can still be held well into the future. I knew doing this would setup shock waves about the event. That was a big part of the reason I did it.

This is not an uncommon occurrence. Today's younger generation has no call to service. Not just boat racing events but many community festivals are being cancelled due to lack of membership from the younger generation. I wish I knew when and how the call to service went by the wayside but it has and we must find a way to get it back.

This may be a broad stroke but many people who complain about a lack of services in a community are often the ones who never volunteer but always find fault. A couple hours for one weekend a year is not to much to ask or is it.
