Hello everyone and welcome to the 2015 Fall Rowing Season!

I’ll be the transportation coordinator for practices for this fall and spring seasons, matching those rowers that need a ride with those rowers that can give a ride. I’m sure there will be a few hiccups in the process as I am new to this game but together we’ll get it all figured out!

There is a $75.00 transportation fee for each rower that is used to reimburse the team members that provide transportation to practice and back to the high school Monday through Thursday. This payment is not done through PaySchools like the other rowing fees. A check should be made out to cash and brought to Jakob Beecher at practice. He’ll make sure I get them.

The Transportation Authorization Form is attached to this email and can also be found at the following link:

Every rower will need to complete the appropriate sections of this form and return to me either with your transportation fee or via email at gaugina@gmail.com.

The form requires that names of approved drivers and approved students to transport. This section cannot be completed until team members have been assigned to their appropriate drivers. To help with this, please send me your rower’s name and whether they will need a ride or are willing to provide transportation using the following link:

If you have any questions regarding this process or if the doodle poll link is not working you can call or email as needed 734-646-9151 or gaugina@gmail.com.

As the practice season starts before the novices have their meeting, the first couple of weeks of transportation may be a little unorganized. We will attempt to make sure that all rowers who need to get to practice will have a ride. Here are a couple of things we can do to help this process:

  • If you know of a novice rower that will be joining the team this year, please feel free to forward this email prior to their meeting on September 16

  • Email me directly if you know of someone who needs a ride

  • Other suggestions welcome!!!

I hope that this will all be arranged by September 21. Looking forward to seeing everyone at the regattas!

Go Hornets!
