WRISC Response to completed application

We are very excited to hear that Shakey Lakes will be continuing partnership with WRISC! On a related note, we still plan to run our Clean Boats Clean Waters program with the boatwash station at the Shakey Lakes Park landing this year, but we are currently in the process of repairing our boatwashes so I'm not sure which dates we'll schedule to be down there yet as we're waiting until they are fully functional before we schedule. I'll keep you all posted! Thanks again!
