| Want to Make History?
Nike Team Building Event Volunteers Needed
|
Want to make history? CRI has been awarded the unique honor of hosting Nike Corporation's leadership team for their annual team building event. We will be making history as this will be the MOST EXCITING team building event held, EVER! We will be working with 120 Nike employees in seventeen CRI 8+s, at the Esplanade in the lower basin, June 23rd, at 6:00am.
The size of this event will require all of our resources to transform Nike employees into rowing fans by sharing with them the best corporate rowing experience CRI can create. This unique event will require over 100 volunteers over 2 days - our goal is to create a powerful experience while also having minimal impact on our regular CRI programming. Volunteer opportunities will be available exclusively to CRI rowers until May 26th. After May 26th, we will open up volunteer opportunities to the larger Charles River rowing community.
Please chose a volunteering option now so we may all make history together and bring Nike into the rowing world. Check the links below for volunteer sign up choices.

| Reserving New HUDSONS
All Boats Must Be Logged Out For Each Row
| |
The new boats have been arriving, and as soon as they are rigged, we have been entering them into the iRowNow system.
Please remember to follow the usual procedures for rowing/checking out boats whether old or new.
- Log out ALL small boats prior to each row
- Do not row a boat that is not shown as available to you even if you see it on the rack
- Boats on the rack, but not available to check out, may be reserved for another rower or program
- To see status of a boat, view 'boat usage'
- The main page on iRowNow will also state if boats are blocked for a particular program or race, and therefore unavailable
- Always be sure to log boats back in, or 'close prior', so the boat you have rowed will then be available for someone else.
- If you have difficulty, or think a boat should be available but isn't please contact nonna@communityrowing.org or yael.mito@communityrowing.org

| Unreported Damage to a New Hudson
Protocol & Responsibility for All Members/Rowers
| |
Recently, one of our new HUDSONs was found to be damaged. No documentation or reporting of the damage was submitted in the repair log or to Dave Snowdon.
Any damage to boats or equipment is always to be recorded in the repair log immediately when damage has occurred or been discovered. Checking the condition of boats prior to and following a row is expected every time a boat is used - whether having been rowed, loaded or unloaded, rigged or de-rigged. As a club, it is our responsibility as a group of rowers to care for our equipment and to follow expected procedures.
Any future instance of unrecorded/undocumented damage to a boat will result in a club-wide day-off-the-water with all programs focusing on boat handling and care.
Please share in taking excellent care of our incredible new fleet of boats!
Thank you.
