All,

I've been contacted by a few of you asking for more information on Fall
Rowing. ODBC has already started but I believe there may still be time for
you to look into it. There is a tryout process and then cuts...if needed.
The website for information is http://tcwcrew.org/odbc/odbc.html

Thompson's Boat Center also has a competitive and developemental level
programs. Thompson's this past summer won both the Men's Jr. Eight and Men's
Jr. 4(Scott Herring '06 was on both boats) at USRowing Championships. The
website for information is http://www.thompsonboatcenter.com/compprog.htm

Both programs have Women's and Men's Programs.

ODBC started Sept. 28th
Thompson's started Aug. 4th

please let me know if you have any quesitons.

Derek

All,

I just wanted to send this note from Matt Madigan who is an elite coach at
PBC. Matt has been very supportive of Washington-Lee Crew. He has gone out
and helped here and there with our boats in the past. His wife Katie
Madigan(then Katie Petrock) coached our Men's Novices in 2001. Matt and
Katie are both former National Team rowers. If any of you are looking to
give tax-deductible donations before the years end, this would be a worthy
cause.

Hey there W-L Crew!

	 I just wanted to send everyone some props for keeping this W-L fundraising
tradition alive. The car washes are a relatively easy and fun way to make your
fundraising goals happen. A big "good job" to your captains for keeping things
organized. They do need YOUR help to make it happen. Its your crew to make huge
things happen with. Build on last season and run with it. One last thing to keep
in mind, several years ago when we had just gotten this fundraiser off the
ground the team made close to $2000 at one car wash! So go for it, and good
luck! Peace.

absence of two and a half of our captains, mama evans, nick and I want to thank
Vito for his hard work and consistent efforts while maintaining a good attitude,
it would have been much more difficult and much less enjoyable without him to
help out. We were pretty disappointed with the turnout of rowers, thinking we
could have been more efficient had we been able to utilize more hands. We have
two more scheduled (the last two saturdays of august) and are hoping to schedule
two in september due to the cancelled car wash and the poor turn out. PLEASE
please please try to let us know about scheduling conflicts in advance, if we
schedule a car wash envisioning a full team of help, and end up short, things
get hectic. Thanks, see you soon

Hello Everyone,

Some of you know the drill and others don't. So I'll try to keep it short.
During the fall Washington-Lee cannot run a program(YET...we are working on
being able to run a novice only program in the fall). The opportunities to
row in our area are from Thompson's and ODBC(Old Dominion Boat Club)
Thompson's and ODBC are both competitive. I'll leave it to the kids to fight
over who is 'faster', 'more fun' or 'better time'.

Thompson's program is more expensive the ODBC. Thompson's has different
level of programs. ODBC program is a tryout program. Not everyone may make
the racing boats. I'm not going to get into the details of each program but
I am leaving you the websites. The more opportunity you get to practice your
skills the better you will become. Its as simple as that. If there are
athletes out there who are not already looking at doing another sport this
fall...you might want to look at rowing to keep in shape, work on your
skills and get more overall experience. Three months each spring is really
not a lot of time to be the best you can be at anything.

IF you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

All,

I know many of you have already made plans to row this fall. I've gotten a
few questions about transportation from a couple of parents. It would be
great if those parents who have kids could work together to help each other
out. This communicate and let each other know how everyone is planning to
get there. Fall rowing requires that all athletes get to practice on their
own, there is no bus to get them there. I don't know how you would start
this but if everyone sends me a note with all the kids rowing this fall and
I can use this to direct parents to other families rowing.

All,

Hello all,

I hope your summer is going well. I hope to start updating the website again
soon. I have some updates from the car washes to put up and information
about US Nationals where some of our rowers competed. The only results I
know about off the top of my head are Scott Herring won in the Intermediate
8 and the Junior Four with Thompson's and Zach Allen placed 4th in the
C-double with PBC. I know Christina Cabiati, Ellen Macnamara and Anne
Moriarity are rowing for Thompson's but I'm not sure about the results or if
they competed.

But back to the reason I wrote to you all. I am headed out of town Friday
for a week's vacation and I need a pet sitter for my fish and iguana. I just
need someone to feed them once a day. I'll pay cash or send to money to the
boosters for rent a rower. Please let me know if you are interested.

Hope you all are having fun...no matter what you are doing...and what you
are doing is keeping you in shape.
