Norwalk River Rowing Racing Team Spring 2015
PARENT MEETING
Monday March 30, 7 pm Sharp!
Norwalk City Hall, Community Room
Your attendance is requested.
Pizza and water will be served for the Athletes.
Meet our Coaches and get all the crucial information for the season. Sign up sheets for the Banquet, Parent on Duty and the Regattas will be available.
The training for our rowers is in full swing and it is time to get introduced to our coaches, get information about the regattas and meet all the parents. There will be signup sheets at the meeting for the parents volunteering. Everyone needs to participate and each family should sign up for at least three volunteer tasks at the regattas plus one non-regatta related task. Mark your calendars – You don’t want to miss them! And think about whether you prefer to help set up, to cook and clean up or break down – the cheering for our strong boys and girls is as always, mandatory.
As most of you know a regatta can only happen with the help from us, the parents. When we get closer to the events, emails will be sent out about each regatta from the club regarding rowers’ information and from the parent organization on any vacant jobs that need to be done to serve our rowers and visiting parents (usually 110 – 150 people).
Our athletes will compete in 6 Regattas this spring:
