Parents and Rowers,

Greetings all! Saturday was a long day, filled with the routine weather delay, but it was great to be back on the water and competing. Most rowers competed in at least 2 to 3 races, which added up to 30,000K of rowing. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help keep things running smoothly! I know there was some confusion with the with the tshirt company at the regatta that had an incomplete/incorrect team roster for the decals. Rest assured, we will make every effort to have the correct rosters available for future regattas.

Here are your updates for this week:

Practice
Practices are Monday - Thursday this week. If conditions do not permit going out on the water, practice will still be at the boathouse with conditioning and erging.

Scrimmage
There is no regatta scheduled for this week but the team will have a scrimmage Saturday morning. It will be at the team boathouse on Ford Lake against Skyline High School. Times and additional details will come out later this week but this will be a fairly quick day for the rowers. Because this is a scrimmage, there will be no food tent or volunteer sign up. We will provide a light snack and beverages for our rowers at the boathouse.

Fundraising Meal at Oscar’s
Mark your calendars and spread the word! Maria and Oscar have generously agreed to host another fundraiser at Oscar’s Sports & Grill on Sunday, October 2. Oscar’s will donate 20% of the bill for anyone who brings a copy of the flyer (attached) and presents it at checkout. Print extra copies and hand them out.

Alumni Row
This Sunday, October 2, Stacy Wellings and former rower Alexis Wolff are organizing the first Alumni Row at the team boathouse. The event is from 10am - 2pm. In addition growing our relationship with our alumni and showing off the boathouse to those who never had a chance to use the facility, the day will include a chance for the alumni to get back on the water and compete in short races against each other and the current team. All rowers who are available this Sunday morning, please come out to the boathouse and meet those alumni who formed and built our club.

Have a great week and GO HORNETS!!!
