Please join us at our Holiday Party on December 7 to celebrate a robust summer season on Bellingham Bay, our beloved corner of the Salish Sea.
From all of us at the Community Boating Center - thank you for another rewarding summer. This season, more than 2,400 people accessed Bellingham Bay through the CBC. You, our community members, had a hand in helping every one of those people to experience the magic of boating on salt water.
Whether through volunteering your time, donating boats, equipment, or monetary gifts, or simply telling your friends about the CBC, each of you have been integral to achieving the CBC's mission: access, education, safe recreation, and marine stewardship on Bellingham Bay.
We invite you to get out your dancing shoes and join us on December 7 to celebrate another phenomenal summer connecting people with Bellingham Bay.
With immense thanks to our community sponsors...
