Tellico Boaters Assistance Response Team

T-BART is a non-profit organization [501(c)(3)] composed of volunteers from communities around Tellico Lake in both Loudon and Monroe counties in Tennessee.  The organization works closely with the local city and county emergency response agencies to provide non-medical/non-emergency assistance to stranded boaters, thus freeing those agencies for their more critical roles.  T-BART performs this service at no charge to boaters and relies on member dues, donations, and an annual Bratfest fundraiser for funding.
