CRI Holiday Toy Drive, Won't You Help Us?
Pulling Together to Collect Toys for Local Kids

 

Please help make a holiday toy drive for local kids a success. Spread a little holiday cheer to children in Allston and Brighton and young patients at Franciscan Children's Hospital.

 

It is very simple! Bring a toy - new and unwrapped - to the boathouse. There will be a cox basket in the foyer to collect the toys.

  

The toys are for kids 12 - 16 years of age. Suggested toys are sports equipment, video games, MP3 players, books and games.

  

Toys will be collected until December 20th and then delivered to the Nickels Toy Drive event. All are welcome to attend:

 

21 Nickels Toy Drive

21 Nichols Ave. 
Watertown, MA
December 20, 6-11pm 

 

 
21 Nichols Toy Drive is sponsored by State Representatives Michael Moran and Kevin Honan, Boston City Councilor Mark Ciomo and Mass AFL-CIO President Steve Tolman, along with the Ward 22 Democratic Committee.

CRI Welcomes New Board Members
Annual Meeting and Party a Record Turnout
Annual Meeting Dec 8 2011
The annual meeting and holiday party on December 8th had a record turnout with over 120 members in attendance who came to hear about the year's accomplishments, upcoming plans for 2012 and to elect new board members.
 
We welcome our new board members Stephen Zoloth, Bryan Fuller and Kasha Ambroise.  It is really exciting to have such an amazing infusion of new people into the board, with such exceptional skills - Stephen is a dean at Northeastern University with experience in the public health sector. Bryan is a veteran, a CPA and is getting ready for a trans-Atlantic row. Kasha is a G-ROW alumna currently working as a paralegal at the Attorney General's office. 

Community Rowing is thrilled to have them join the board!
