Dear Fellow Crewsters and Friends:
Seasons Greetings.
I am pleased to advise you that F- M School District Superintendent Dr. Corlis Kaiser called today to advise me that the fee that was to be paid by each student to the District for use of High School facilities for winter training has been substantially reduced.
The charge formerly set by the District was to be approximately $3,200 which would have been divided among the participating students. The charge per student would have been something like $100 per student.
After relevant factors were brought to the attention of Dr. Kaiser and School Board members the fee for winter training to be paid to the District will be $5 per student. The $5 charge is in line with what the School district charges other F- M High School sports teams to utilize the District facilities.
Thank you to Dr. Kaiser and School Board members Sue Ryan, Mike Masse, & Elena Romano who supported the request to reduce the usage assessment. When I spoke to each of the aforementioned individuals to lobby for the reduction I came away with a belief that each sees Crew at F- M as a positive and established activity. If you cross paths with any of the School Board members please thank them for their continuing support of the Crew program.
Thank you also to Coaches Cusano and Laschant for taking the time out of their busy schedules to supervise and coach the crew kids during the winter months. Thanks also Rob Hughes and Dave Schnall for their hands in making the High School based training program a reality. I have no doubt that the training at the High School is the single biggest reason for the increased number of winter training participants.
Thank you for your continued assistance and support.
