Hello Brighton Rowing Club… the time to get on the water this season is almost here. Weekly emails will start now to help keep you informed of upcoming events and important information. If you have questions or would like a different email addressed added (or removed) from our listgroup, please send Rhonda Miga an email to registrar@brightoncrew.org
1. Mandatory Parent Meeting, March 19 at 7:00 pm. Location: Jewish Community Center in Brighton. If room number is not posted at the door, please stop by the information desk for meeting location. The meeting will last about an hour. We will be reviewing: this seasons regattas and projected expenses, volunteer opportunities, practice times and expectations, etc.
2. We will be finalizing any outstanding registration items needed for this season. Rowers will NOT be allowed on-the-water until ALL needed registration items are turned in. Please bring any outstanding items needed to the Parent Meeting. If you are not sure that you have turned in all items or if you are missing an item, please stop by the Registration Desk Tuesday evening. (Unless you have registered in the last week, you most likely received an email with a list of needed items.)
3. We will draw winners for our ROW FREE SPRING 2013 raffle at the parent meeting. BRC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your donation help BRC with team parties and other team extras throughout the season. A $25 donation = 1 ticket, and a $50 donation = 3 tickets. We have 3 giveaways this season. 1st prize is Season Dues, 2nd prize is a team all-weather jacket and 3rd prize is the BRC duffle bag. (Rowers who have already purchased a jacket and/or duffle bag may purchase other like priced items from our available FanGear.) Last minute donations can be made at the Parent Meeting on Tuesday.
4. TEAM Roster. Attached is a DRAFT of this season’s roster. Please review your information and let Rhonda know if there are any changes that need to be made (added or removed). Please use this roster to connect with other parents to set up car pools to the Genesee Rowing Boathouse.
5. NOTE change in Practice Schedule this week. Monday and Wednesday’s practice will be at the JCC – regular practice time. On Friday, March 22 we will report to the Genesee Rowing Club Boat House at 3:30pm. Practice will be from 3:300 to 5:30 for Novice and Varsity Rowers. (Modified rowers will begin on-the-water April 15.)
6. Volunteer Opportunities. Land Parents – Please see the attached information on Land Parents. We will have a Sign Up Genius form available later this week to sign up and be a Land Parent. **This is very important** If each rower has one parent sign up at least 2x throughout the season, we can have all practice sessions covered.
Brighton Rowing Club is run solely by volunteers. Without volutneers, BRC would not exist. We have a variety of volunteer opportunities. We will review volunteer opportunities at the Parent meeting. For a behind the scenes volunteer opportunity, Rhonda is looking for someone to update the website. If you have a little experience using WordPress please contact Rhonda to help out. We also need a Party Planner to plan the Season Kick Off party and the End of Season Party. If you are able to help with these two events, please let us know. Parents and rowers attend the kick off and end of season party.
