Committee Planning:

Carpool: Sue Stack prepared a new form. We agreed that it would be more efficient for an adult to assign drivers and riders. We also agreed that junior and senior drivers’ cars should be filled up first.
Clothing: We will ask the parents to order polo shirts if their child is participating in the New Jersey regatta. Jennifer will check on the availability and cost of visors.
Captain Report:
- The captains asked that each rower buy two 7/16th wrenches for rigging and de-rigging.
Coaches Report:
- 8th graders cannot row spring season.
- Spring Break: Coach Fraser was happy with the spring break training as well as the performance of the truck. Coach would like to see more coxswains at spring break training. We discussed the possibility of renting boats next year instead of hauling the boats to Florida. We will check with Kings Boat Rental next year for costs, etc.
