Community Rowing Inc

Notice of Annual Meeting and Board Elections 

  

Meeting topics will include:

 

- A brief review of the year 2011 and a look ahead to 2012 from CRI       Directors  
- An announcement of the formation of an equipment committee to       update our 3 year equipment plan 
- Announcement of a task force to review the General Sweeps             programs at CRI  

  

Two member-elected Board positions will be open at the CRI Annual Meeting on December 8th.

Every year two members are elected to 2-year terms on the CRI Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. The board plays a critical function in assessing club performance and direction, and everyone on the board puts in time to achieve results -- just like the rowers at CRI. You'll be working on issues that are CRI-wide and helping us achieve our mission: Rowing for All. 

We would particularly like to encourage members with skills or interests in fundraising and with local community connections to consider running for the Board.

If you're interested in running, please e-mail Lila McCain at lila_mccain@hotmail.com with a short statement describing your involvement with rowing and CRI, your non-rowing experience and skills that will contribute to the board and to CRI, and your reasons for wanting to serve on the board. At the annual meeting you will be asked to share this information with the membership before the vote.

If you have questions, please e-mail:

Working to Improve Transportation to the Boathouse
Community Rowing Would Like YOUR Feedback
Rainbow on 10.28.2008
Do you have opinions about what it is like to drive to the boathouse?  If so, Community Rowing would like your feedback!  CRI is conducting a brief, ten question survey about driving into and out of the parking lot.  The survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete.  Your feedback is valuable as we work towards improving access to the building.  The survey will be open through Friday, December 9th.  And as a thank you, all survey respondents will receive a complimentary tasty-treat for your participation.  You can pick up your free home-made chocolate chip cookie from the front desk, (prepared by CRI boat rigger Seth Davis), at any point during the day from Wednesday, Dec. 14th through Friday, Dec. 16th.  

 
All survey related questions should be directed to:
