| Big Thank You!
To Our Corporate Rowing Volunteers
| |
THANK YOU! To all the volunteers and staff who helped pull off a successful first corporate rowing event last Friday. We had 10 visiting Young Presidents Organization leaders visiting from Canada. All of them had a wonderful time and the weather worked out great for the event.
Patrick Larcom coached the group and had them rowing well and in unison in no time. We had a group of great volunteers from Coach Bode's novice girls team helping with all the logistics. Snacks and nutritional information provided by Kelsea, CRI's registered dietician, was a hit with both the volunteers and rowers.
Blaine LaBonte, the YPO leader who organized the trip had this to say about his experience, "I'd have to say when we were talking about meeting at a boathouse, I wasn't expecting a work of art! We all really enjoyed that unique experience!
