For those of you interested in learning how to drive a launch. The
Navy is offering courses this April with the hope that some of you
might be interested in helping out at some of the regattas. Details
below - Contact Marty directly.
Also, do not forget the general membership meeting scheduled for
next Tuesday (April 11th) at the Button at 6:30. This is the first
meeting of the year and we will be discussing the 2006 rowing season
and other issues at the boathouse. This is typically the most
important meeting of the year and we are providing food (pizza) and
drink to encourage you to come. For those not familiar with our
upriver house, it is the very last building on Kelly Drive leaving
the city. It is located just before Kelly drive splits into route
1, Lincoln Drive and and Ridge Avenue. It is a yellow and green
victorian building set back on a lawn. Just pull into the driveway.
Hope to see you Tuesday,
Henry Hauptfuhrer
Boathouse Captain

to watch the races!!
