Pilot Club of Bay City President Barbara Smith presented Precinct 6 Constable Bill Orton, a check for boating safety signs at a recent Pilot Club meeting. This donation covers the signs and installation, providing safety guidelines for boaters at all Sargent area boat ramps. We encourage all boaters to take a picture of the sign so they have the information on hand if needed. This project was funded by the Pilot Club Celebrity Waiter Dinner Fundraiser, which will be held on Thursday, Oct. 15. Courtesy photo
