CRI Boathouse - Architect Alex Anmahian 
Reception Tonight at 6pm

Did you know the CRI Boathouse is an architecturally beautiful building? It is a Harleston Parker Medal winner, an honor bestowed by the Boston Society of Architects (BSA) each year for the most beautiful building or structure built in Greater Boston in the past ten years. 


 

We invite you to join us for a reception on TuesdayJuly 28 at 6pm to hear from Alex Anmahian AIA of Anmahian Winton Architects who will give a short tour and to learn about the BSA Foundation, a sister organization to the Boston Society of Architects.(http://www.architects.org/foundation) 


 

The BSA Foundation supports activities that illuminate the ways that design improves the quality of our lives. You'll hear stories about how Foundation programs, and the power of design, are positively changing the lives of real people. 


 

Please RSVP to Nigel Gallaher at nigelgallaher@gmail.com to attend this event which is limited to 25 attendees.

Host a Para Rower!
US National Team LTA 4+

CRI will be selecting the US National Team LTA 4+ that will compete at the World Championships this summer. Once the 4+ is selected, we will need host family homes for the athletes from July 16th - August 21st.

Host families have been very important to 'their' athlete.  During rowers' time at CRI, they are away from home and undertaking a demanding training program to prepare for  intense competition. The host family makes all the difference.Host families will receive a small stipend to cover expenses.  

If you are interested in hosting one of these outstanding athletes, please contact Ellen Minzner, Head Coach for the USA LTA 4+ at ellen@communityrowing.org

Thank you for all of your support!
