Head of the Occoquan

THANK YOU to the eighteen rowers and parents and alumni parents who helped us meet our goal of supporting the HOTO parking fundraiser on Nov. 6-7.  Also thanks to the launch drivers (Coach Maggie and Mark Ward) who will be enabling a safe and secure race for both Saturday and Sunday. HOTO appreciates our commitment. Watch for details to those who signed up closer to the event.

Wreath, Poinsettia and Coffee Sales – LAST WEEKEND for GREENERY ORDERS!
