LABARA's
Mission
The Lake Anna Boating and Recreation
Association has taken the initiative
to create this organization, assemble essential rudimentary information
and present it in a format to benefit those who use Lake Anna for
boating and many other recreational activities. Our
objectives are to increase awareness of issues that affect boating and
recreational activities, to encourage boating safety, analyze issues,
exchange information, and to promote our
interests while assisting and supporting our members. This
organization exists solely to benefit our members and the Lake Anna
boating community. LABARA is a non profit organization that is
run by dedicated and committed volunteers.
LABARA's
Intentions
We believe that Lake Anna is a recreational lake for boaters and
recreational activities of many varieties and we don't want responsible
boating activities unfairly limited or whittled away over time.
Therefore, we intend to:
- Emphasize
safe boating and compliance
with the current
rules and regulations without sacrificing our passions for different
boating
styles and techniques. Required boating
skills vary with the equipment used and the result desired
- Work
to facilitate and/or
provide boating safety
and best practices courses for all types of boaters
- Share
knowledge and experience regarding boats,
motors, and boating techniques for optimal equipment functionality,
safety and performance
- Promote
the belief that the current DGIF regulations regarding
safe boating practices and the common use of Virginia’s public waters
are, if
enforced, sufficient as they are written
- Find new
ways to serve boaters and
the boating community at large at Lake Anna,
not just those who
own property on the lake
- Provide
a forum for the exchange of boating
ideas, safety techniques, boating skills, and the mastery of all
the types of boating and fishing related sports
- Reach
out to engender a spirit of friendliness, courtesy, and
cooperation among boaters of all types in order to preserve the
freedoms and privileges we now enjoy for
the next generation.
