Learn-to-Row Thanks!

We finished a successful 3-day Learn-to-Row Camp yesterday with a mini regatta on the course. We had 16 potential future recruits ranging from 8th to 11th grade … and three nice-weather days with Sandy Run effectively to ourselves. My thanks to all those who helped plan, prepare (last Sunday), and execute the event (3-day all-star helpers bolded):

Alum rowers – Kate Wright (’13), Evan Finley (’13), Maggie Crotty (’15), Marissa & Stephanie Shand (’16), Emma Wiley (’16), Sam Ferrell (’17), Hannah (’17), Vince Gioseffi (’17), and Norah Riester (’17)
Current rowers – Pasha, Caroline, Markus, Mackenzie, India, Noah, Kurt, Julienne, Parker, Isabelle, Vivian, Ryan, Helina, Warner, Jimmy, and Brandon
Coaches – Chip, Rob, Evan, and newly minted Coach Vince
Drivers/helpers – Bob Finley, Paul Taylor, and Ralph Gioseffi
Photographer/videographer/scheduler – Heidi Gioseffi
Logistical support/refreshments – Linda Manning
Organizer/Registrar/swim tester/chaser-of-paperwork – Mari Mullane

Like last year, we will hold a fall open house on Lake Barcroft and participate in recruiting events at the school. As a goal, I would really like to see us fill both our 8s with novices so we can start next season with novice 8 entries. Please help actively spread the word about rowing and our crew program. Tell people about crew, talk about crew … tweet, retweet, post, repost, share on social media, and share via listservs.

Thanks again!
