Scullers Information Meeting

Monday, March 28th, 7PM

The kickoff Scullers Information Meeting will be held at 7PM on Monday, March 28 in the CRI Weight Room. You'll hear from Kane Larin, Dave Snowdon, and our coaches, Mike Baker and Anna Harris with updates and plans for this summer. Come early at 6:45PM enjoy some refreshments and snacks with your sculling colleagues. A number of us might even be rowing by then, given how warm the water already is and the likely forecast in the next couple weeks - and the sandbar is gone!! We hope you'll join us.

Your Sculling Co-Captains Marion Dancy & Laura Meyer

Always follow the rules of the river

Be courteous on the water at all times

Sandbar

Dredging Update

We are happy to let folks know that the dredging of the sandbar which began a few weeks ago is coming to a close. The sand that formed the sandbar has been cleared. Once the remaining dredging equipment has been removed, by end of day tomorrow, work in the river will be complete.

The dredging removed sand (mostly from the road) which built up over time. Removal of the sand which created a shoal will lead to improved water quality and navigation in that section of the river. The sand and debris removed from the river has been deposited into special enclosures at the Herter Park parking lot where it will drain. Once dewatered the sand will be trucked away.
