Hi fellow YRC members,
Charles Huthmaker from Vespoli is going to bring a Midweight VHP175 or SD175 for me in mid May. If anyone is interested in taking it out please?let me know. I'll announce again when we get closer to the date.
Equipment committee, will we have a place to store it for 3 days if he leaves it?
He's happy to bring other sizes / configurations if anyone else wants to demo too.?
Mike Ippolito

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

Thanks for forwarding this, Bob. I'm eager to hear Arshay Cooper talk. I just saw the film last night, and it is very powerful. I had read his book SUGA WATER, which the film is based on, but nothing prepared me for how forceful and moving the film was. Try to see it if you can. Best to all, Nancy

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

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!
Jaime

?I'm sure everyone's ready to be on the water, but the water isn't ready: today, flow
is 47,000 cubic feet per second (20,000 is the club limit), and the temperature is 41F.
Not safe.... Early May is a typical opening date....
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.
?tes vous prêts?

Re: YRC: getting ready for the rowing season
Yes, good cold water like that is great for preserving the body so it can be recognized when found!
Thanks Bob!
