Dear Crew Parents and Rowers --
What a great turnout for last night's meetings! With so many returning veteran rowers and so many enthusiastic novices, this promises to be a very successful and fun year for W-L Crew.
The letter below from our poinsettia/greens co-chairs provides guidance to parents regarding this fall's sale, one of our two big fundraisers for the year. Please feel free to contact them about that event, or me or head coaches Derek Parsons and Paul Holland on anything else regarding W-L Crew.

Dear Washington-Lee Crew Parent:
The 2007 Holiday Poinsettia sale has been launched, and your child has a packet full of instructions and order forms! This is a major fund-raiser for W-L Crew. Its success depends on all rowers and parents participating. In addition, credits from these sales will count toward your rower’s fundraising requirements for this year.
If you or your rower did not pick up a sales packet at the 10/11 meeting, then they can contact a team captain or e-mail Myra Probasco at Basco5860@... to receive one.
Please take a few minutes to go over his/her poinsettia sales packet and discuss this fundraiser with your rower. As is stated on the packet’s instructions sheet, your rower should go door to door within his/her neighborhood to sell the holiday plants and collect any donations to W-L Crew. It is always a good idea for rowers to sell in pairs or with a parent.
This year we are also asking each crew family if they would sell plants to one to two local businesses. We are building a corporate customer base. Local businesses want to support local organizations and sports. You just need to approach them!
All order forms are due Monday, Nov. 19 and/or Nov. 26. The Nov. 19th orders must be picked up at W-L’s Little Theater on the morning of Dec. 1. The Nov. 26th orders must be picked up the morning of Dec. 8. Please let us know if you can help us distribute the orders on those days. We need at least 4 parent helpers throughout those times.
Unlike mulch, poinsettias are fragile and must be delivered with care. Plants and wreaths that your rower sells will be his/her responsibility for delivery. This means that, unless your child drives, you will need to help them pick up the plants from W&L and help to deliver orders to their customers.
Also, if you have a car with a lot of cargo space or drive a pick-up truck, please let us know if you can be called upon to help others with their deliveries.
Contact us with any questions. Thanks for all your support in making this year’s sale a big success.
