Dear NCR Members, Friends and Families!

After successfully navigating NCR through COVID-19 and its fallout, we as the Board of Directors are thrilled by the positive energy and renewed growth we’ve seen throughout the 2022 rowing season! This is a very exciting time, and we are more committed than ever to upholding our mission; to identifying new opportunities for our members to engage with the sport of rowing; and to prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion to make Northampton Community Rowing a home for all.
?
With these aims in mind, we are currently working on two critical projects in collaboration with the City of Northampton and our other partners on the river:
?

• The Northampton Waterfront Accessibility Project, which will provide safe and reliable access to the river and shoreline for rowers, kayakers, and beachgoers of all ages and abilities;
• The “Ready-All-Row” grant project, which seeks to broaden our outreach to youth and adult rowers in underserved parts of our community who may not have considered the sport of rowing, as well as updating and expanding our rowing and safety equipment inventory to better meet the needs of our growing membership.

If you would like to be part of this effort, and if you have professional skills you would like to share for the good of our community, we hope you will consider joining the Board or one of the sub-committees that carries out our volunteer work.?The average commitment is 2-3 hours per month. Board meetings are held via Zoom on the fourth Monday of each month at 7:00 PM. Meetings are open to the public for any who are interested in observing and learning about what we do.
?
If serving on the Board of Directors isn’t for you, but you would still like to volunteer, there are many ways you can help out depending on your talents and interest.
?
For more information, or if you would like to attend a board meeting as a guest, please contact Wendy Mardas, Nominating Committee chair: wmardas@....

?
