Thanks so
much to you both for a fun and safe season! And to the
board, to Craig and the whole club.
?
I have been
out twice this week on these miraculous days, and can report
our little place is lovely as ever. But weather reality will
set in! Thursday…..

I brought
home the last of the towels and will return them soon.

Carry on,

Hello Fellow YRC Members!?
Anita and I are writing to let you know that YRC 2024 rowing
season is officially closed. The temp check and the seasonably
cold weather is settling in. This means that club boats are no
longer available. Private boat owners can row of course,
though we urge caution.?
As we reflect on the season, one cannot help but recognize our
good fortune of being able to row on such a beautiful body of
water. We are also so fortunate to have another year’s use of
a sweet little boathouse that is such a great home for our
boats and meeting place for all who love this incredible
sport.?
This year also brought some exciting things….new members, old
friends returning to our club, and, of course, the return of
our regular crew. ?We also had members compete in HOC and
other races around New England. ?It was impressive to observe
their commitment to their training and to hear about the
racing adventures. ?Congrats! ?
Anita and I want to express gratitude and
thanks to the YRC Board. Thank you for your ongoing
commitment to supporting the club.?
In particular, we want to express special
appreciation for Carol and Craig. ?Carol, as the club’s
treasurer, does so much to keep the club running. ?Her
management of our membership and the club’s finances helps
ensure our doors stay open (literally, since she facilitated
the access to the garage door opener that actually works!)
and keeps our club boats in good repair and accessible for
members’ use. ?
Also, Craig, who continues to tirelessly
contribute countless hours to the club, our fleet, and all
club members. Craig’s skills and commitment to maintaining
and repairing club boats and his willingness to helping
members with their own boats improves the experience of
every member of the club.?
Thank you Carol and Craig for your
enduring commitment and invaluable contributions to YRC and
our members.?
Thanks for a great 2024 season. We are already looking
forward to the 2025 season. Be well everyone and see you
next year!?
Peace,?
