“Rowers are probably the world’s best athletes. Rowing looks graceful, elegant and sometimes effortless when it is done well. Don’t be fooled. Rowers haven’t been called the world’s most physically fit athletes for nothing. The sport demands endurance, strength, balance, mental discipline, and an ability to continue on when your body is demanding that you stop.”

Information on the Fundraiser Obligation
The fundraiser obligation has evolved in how it is used over the past few seasons.  In recent seasons, it is applied to the club's actual operating expenses.  In the past, long ago, the fundraising monies were used for purchase of new equipment.  This historical concept kept our club in position to have new equipment for our current members and future team.  We need dig deep and think broadly to leave a legacy for future years.  Please take the time to donate generously and fundraise as much as possible this upcoming season. 

See our Sponsors and Friends page. Thank you for your support!
