The coyotes are back on the prowl to keep the geese away from our docks!  Please keep them moving around-- Geese are not easily fooled if the coyotes are stationary for too long, or worse yet when they tip over, or loose a leg or two the geese know they are fake!  Please encourage your rowers to move the coyote decoys at least once a day, and make sure they are standing up right with all four legs.  Thank you! 
Our Erg Room Looks Great!
Thank you for keeping our erg room clean and organized!  We appreciate all your help.

CRI's 1st Annual Garage Sale
Garage Sale 1 As stated in last week's e-news, CRI will be holding a Garage Sale in lieu of a Raffle this year! 

Just yesterday, CRI held its first meeting to  begin planning for the Saturday, May, 30th, Garage Sale that will be held from 8:00am to 3:00pm.

A dedicated committee is spearheading the effort. However, to make the event a success we will need the help of all CRI's members and supporters.

HOW CAN YOU HELP NOW?
  • Start saving bags of all sizes to donate for "cash and carry' of sale items;
  • Begin to identify items that you would like to donate (click here to see what items we will accept);
  • Invite your friends to donate sale items and/or attend the event;
  • Email Leigh Terry today at leigh@communityrowing.org and let her know you want to volunteer. (Remember the time you volunteer will count toward your community service hours.)
Details of the various volunteer opportunities leading up to and including the day of the event will be posted next week, but we hope you will begin to think today of how you can chip in to make this event a big success.

ALL PROCEED WILL GO TOWARD THE EQUIPMENT FUND TO PURCHASE NEW SAFETY LAUNCHES.
