Able Day on the Bay

 
The annual Able Day on the Bay will once again be celebrated in 2008 on December 13 thanks to the ongoing support of the Beaumaris Motor Yacht Squadron (BMYS) and a wonderful team of volunteers who provide everything from their boats, equipment, time and expertise in providing a stunning day of entertainment on the water for people with disabilities. This great day highlights the generosity of many people in the community and their willingness to support great causes.
 

Activities will once again include:

• Boat rides • Jet ski rides

• Fishing     • Vintage car rides

• BBQ lunch • Entertainment

Such unique sensory experiences out in the community, meeting and interacting with others is what gives meaning and value to the lives of the people Able Australia supports.

This annual event is supported by organising committee, volunteers, the Bayside community, BMYS members, boating community, local business community and generous donors.

"As a member of the Beaumaris Motor Yacht Squadron and Model T Ford Club of Victoria, I have been fortunate to participate in both events for Able Day on the Bay. My most lasting memory is the smiles, laughing and joy of people experiencing something very special, activities that we almost take for granted."

Planning is well under way for the 2008 event and we are actively seeking community and corporate support. If you would like to receive further information on how you can participate in this exceptional event, to make a donation or to register your interest as an event supporter please contact one of our committee members.

We are also seeking the support of volunteers to help out with everything from serving food to helping people on and off boats.
