Thanks to everyone this fall who helped in setting up the erg and
weight room several weeks ago and for those who worked on the front
garden this past Saturday.
With all the renovations going on at the boathouse, things will be
chaotic for awhile so your patience and help is needed as we move
through various renovation projects.
In preparation for the Drexel / Bachelors lease signing ceremony on
November 17th, Drexel has offered a cleaning crew to help clean up
the boathouse before the ceremony. This will significantly reduce
the amount of work needed for the annual fall work party. However, I
would like to go through with the annual fall work party because
there are still other issues to address including:
1) Dock repair is the most pressing issue - many boards need
replacement. We will also attempt to reduce the gap between the ramp
and the floating section which is a safety problem due to people
stepping in the gap. We will need a number of able-bodied volunteers
for this project.
2) Yardwork and general clean-up may also be needed to some extent as
we prepare for winter.
Thanks again for all who have volunteered work at the boathouse this
year. I realize we have asked a lot from the membership this year.
I'll post some more details about the upcomming work party as we get
closer to Saturday, November 15th.
