Spread the Word! 
Last week, Seth, CRI's Boat Rigger and Marco, Head Coach for the Men's Junior Team (pictured above) worked together to hang a 40 ft by 6 ft sign along CRI's Eastern most wall. The banner has already caught the attention of commuters traveling along the Mass Pike as over the weekend there was spike in program inquiries.
We have several new programs this spring, one of which is Rowing League, a program for your co-workers, or a group of friends that would like to build teamwork while having fun on the Charles River. It begins May 5th and runs through June 9th and meets in the evenings from 6:30pm - 8:00pm. |

CRI Video; Join CRI Today!  Allie O'Connor and Brian Wettech, two CRI Comp. Youth Rowers, were the first to submit a video for our CRI Comp. Youth Video Competition. While a winner has yet to be determined, this video was a HUGE hit among the CRI staff, who received a sneak preview yesterday afternoon! It was deemed "a success!" by Bruce Smith, Executive Director, so we decided not to wait to show you this awesome video--- And without further ado, (make sure your volume is turned up), we present; "Join CRI Today"
The Deadline for submitting a Comp. Youth video is next Monday, March 23rd. |
