Last week was tremendously busy for corporate rowing at CRI. A combination of six team-building events and the final week of CRRL Session 2 brought over 200 new rowers into the CRI boathouse!

 

The month of August holds many opportunities to get involved with corporate rowing. With the final session of the Charles River Rowing League and many other team-building events, we are always in need of volunteers and coxswains.
