Summary: SITKA
|
The "Kids Don't Float" life jacket loaner "board" at Swan Lake in the middle of Sitka has been "orphaned"- it was installed when boards were also installed at the harbors, but the organization that manages the boards at the harbors insists that they have not/do not/and will not manage the board at Swan Lake. The lake is heavily used for swimming and canoeing in the Summer months, including during the Sitka Rotary Club's Kids Fishing Day in May. Also, although there are "Kids Don't Float" loaner boards at the harbors and at Swan Lake, there is no educational program about life jackets in the schools.
The Sitka Rotary Club will take over the management of the Swan Lake "Kids Don't Float" life jacket loaner board at Swan Lake- starting with repairs/remodeling of the board (in Sitka they are all actually cabinets) and installation of additional signage including Rotary information, followed by maintaining the supply of life jackets at the board. The Club will also make two educational presentations a year about "Kids Don't Float", including providing handouts about the program.
