Committee Planning:
Website: Mike Ward is “moving” the rowing website over to Word Press – salinerowing.wordpress.com. Mike is currently training Scott Orwig to take over as our IT guy.
We need to renew both domain names: rowing and crew. The cost is $32 per year.
Each board member will take a page or pages of the current website and make revisions/updates to them for Mike/Scott to upload to the new website.

Cecilyne Penny will hand out surveys at the new rower meeting. The survey will ask the team about their favorite meals, snacks, etc.
