This page is dedicated to the things that are going on within the chapter. It is our goal to make this a fun, active chapter with forward thinking goals to enhance and build a diverse chapter. We’re always looking for fresh ideas and new members. If you have an opinion or suggestion please pass it along!

2008 Lake Wheeler Boat Show ~ Vice President and boat show chairman Charles Mansfield is already working on this years boat show. This is a tremendous undertaking and any help is greatly appreciated. Even the little contributions make a big difference. If you can’t help prepare for the show we’d still love for you to attend. September 29, 2007.
Greater Raleigh Boat Show ~ Thanks to Bob Banta our chapter just had the opportunity to participate in the Greater Raleigh Indoor Boat show, held temporarily at a warehouse on Gresham Lake Road. Both Kevin Leiner and Bob Banta were kind enough to bring their boats and we had tremendous interest from the public. We expect to gain a few new members as a result of this event. Bob is currently working on getting us space at the upcoming show at the Fairgrounds.
