Re: "A Most Beautiful Thing" meet the author

 

Thanks Bob! I also really liked the book. (I had heard the author speak at PVRC a few years ago, and I think I left my copy at our boat house a year or two ago for people to read). I look forward to seeing the film.
Best,
Beth

Join us for our virtual Meet the Author event on Thursday,?April 15 at 7 pm. Arshay Cooper will be discussing his inspiring memoir?A?Most Beautiful Thing: The True Story of America's First All-Black High School Rowing Team.

Growing up on Chicago’s West Side in the 1990s, raised by a single mother in a one-bedroom apartment, Cooper witnessed violence on the streets every day. His life was forever altered when he and a handful of fellow classmates joined a newly formed rowing team at Manley High School. Together, they rewrote their futures and transformed the sport by becoming the first all-black high school crew team in the country.

Moving, mesmerizing, and highly relevant,?A Most Beautiful Thing?was recently made into a feature-length documentary, narrated by Common and executive produced by Dwyane Wade, Grant Hill, and 9th Wonder.

Commenting on our waiver

 

开云体育

I have put a collection of waivers on a web site where you can access them.
The first in the list is our current waiver. ?If you're interested in revisiting our
waiver, please take a look at these. ?Let's NOT discuss this on the broad
group email list; instead, if you want to participate in a discussion, send me
your email address and I'll be in touch about an appropriate forum for discussion.








Thanks
Bob
Quilted cover for single

 

Hello, all-

I'm sorry that I could not attend the annual meeting, but look forward to seeing you at the BH and on the water.?

Moi and I jointly own a very nice quilted and rugged cover for a single. We are happy to let anyone use it who may have to store their boat outside this season.

See you soon...I hope!

Re: YRC: getting ready for the rowing season

 

Bob,
You not only run a great meeting, you are also recording the minutes too. I was going to do that, but seems you captured it all already, yes? If there is anything I should be doing, please let me know.

Thanks for pulling this all together so thoroughly. You make everything so easy for everyone!

The waiver and membership form for 2021 are now available:
Please plan to sign up before you row.

The annual membership meeting was held by Zoom yesterday, attended by 22 members.
Here's a summary of what transpired:

Fees remain unchanged: $ 490 membership, $415 rack space.
Board of directors: Ernie Alleva, Jaime Caron, Jenn Ferree, Andy Larkin,
Craig Schiff, Leslie Smith, Bob Sproull, Anne Teschner,
David Wick, Moshe Wurgaft
Officers: president: Bob Sproull; vice president: Jenn Ferree
treasurer: Leslie Smith; secretary: Jaime Caron
Equipment committee: Ernie, Craig, Anne
COVID precautions: We will begin this season with the same procedures in place
at the end of last season. We may be able to relax them as the season unfolds.
Jenn will be organizing spring cleanup crews to work in small groups, like last year.
Reservations: When the club opens for rowing, we will start out using the reservation
system for club boats that was in place at the end of last year. The new
2x will be subject to reservation. Details will be sent out by email when the
club opens.
Temporary outside rack: There are 3 people on the waiting list for rack space.
It is very likely we can provide rack space for 4 boats outside when the club opens.
(If you are willing to rack your boat outside at a reduced rack fee, please contact me.)
We are also exploring adding inside space to the boathouse (the "east aisle" adjacent
to our current space) that would provide indoor rack space. This plan may not work
out, and even if it does, the racks won't be ready when the season opens.

Yes, good cold water like that is great for preserving the body so it can be recognized when found!

===================
YRC annual meeting agenda (tentative); Sunday, March 28 2-4 PM via Zoom

BR = Board recommendation for an action that may require a membership vote

1. Finance report: Leslie Smith
BR: Retain last year's fees
Membership: $ 490
Rack: $ 415

2. Elect board of directors
BR: Robin Barber has asked to step down
? ?Moshe (Moi) Wurgaft has agreed to be nominated
? ?Full slate: Ernie Alleva, Jaime Caron, Jenn Ferree, Andy Larkin,
Craig Schiff, Leslie Smith, Bob Sproull, Anne Teschner,
David Wick, Moshe Wurgaft

3. Elect officers
BR: Retain current officers
? ?Full slate: ?President: Bob Sproull; Vice president: Jenn Ferree
Treasurer: Leslie Smith; Secretary: Jaime Caron

4. Appoint equipment committee
BR: Retain current members: Ernie, Craig, Anne

5. COVID precautions
BR: Start season with same scheme that we used at the end of last year
Possibly relaxing during the season.

6. Agree on spring cleanup plan
BR: Jenn to organize

7. Reservation system
Although the Board has a recommendation, it was not unanimous
and discussion at the annual meeting will be invited.
BR: start season with same system we ended with
(times adjusted relative to sunrise)
? ?It may be possible to relax the system as the season progresses

8. Possible boathouse expansion.? Since we're completely out of rack space,
there have been discussions about various ways to expand our space.? The most
likely is to rent the "east aisle," a section of the building that abuts our
current space to the east.? The space would need only modest renovation to
be able to house 10 additional singles; this is work that could be done by the
club.? Gary Pellisier, the owner of the Sportsman's Marina, has expressed
interest in additional "sprucing up," including a new door and ramp for the
east aisle and repainting the boathouse exterior.? All of this is contingent
on more investigation and planning and also on negotiating acceptable lease
adjustments with Gary.? A small Board committee will be working on this.? They
will solicit comments and suggestions from all members.

In order to accommodate the current rack waiting list (3 boats), we are also
discussing with Gary placing a rack outdoors. ?(I own a fine rack and would be
happy to have YRC use it).? Of course, not all boat owners will be
willing to rack their boats outdoors.? But it would be nice to accommodate all
rack needs at the beginning of the season, even if the east aisle plan is
moving ahead; our season may open in about a month, and it's unlikely that
the east aisle would be ready in time.

8. Other business, including discussion of "wish list" for additional club boats.

? ?It may be possible to relax the system as the season progresses

8. Possible boathouse expansion. ?Since we're completely out of rack space,
there have been discussions about various ways to expand our space. ?The most
likely is to rent the "east aisle," a section of the building that abuts our
current space to the east. ?The space would need only modest renovation to
be able to house 10 additional singles; this is work that could be done by the
club. ?Gary Pellisier, the owner of the Sportsman's Marina, has expressed
interest in additional "sprucing up," including a new door and ramp for the
east aisle and repainting the boathouse exterior. ?All of this is contingent
on more investigation and planning and also on negotiating acceptable lease
adjustments with Gary. ?A small Board committee will be working on this. ?They
will solicit comments and suggestions from all members.

In order to accommodate the current rack waiting list (3 boats), we are also
discussing with Gary placing a rack outdoors. ?(I own a fine rack and would be
happy to have YRC use it). ?Of course, not all boat owners will be
willing to rack their boats outdoors. ?But it would be nice to accommodate all
rack needs at the beginning of the season, even if the east aisle plan is
moving ahead; our season may open in about a month, and it's unlikely that
the east aisle would be ready in time.

8. Other business, including discussion of "wish list" for additional club boats.
