Odds and Ends

Coaching: Nich Lee, our sweep coach has created a a blog to help us in our training: it has been added to the links at the right.

Sunshine Committee: As many of you know, Helma Chartier fell and broke her shoulder. Nancy Brackett tells us that she would probably appreciate a call while she mends. Dianne Kelly reminds us that anyone who is interested in hosting a Saturday breakfast should see her.

Derby Sweeps and Sculls: if you have not gotten back to Lisa Brailey about volunteering, do so!

Cleaning: Our new cleaning service is doing a terrific job (perhaps you noticed that your locker was dusted?), but we are still responsible for the boat bays and other public areas. Baxter has circulated the cleaning schedule by email -- please check your calendar and make sure you can make your assigned day, and if you can't, trade with someone. It's ok to be a little late -- I think up to Tuesday has been the rule of thumb, but it's not ok not to do it at all.

Board Meetings: are the first Wednesday of every month, at 6:30. The next one is on June 4 -- all members are invited to attend.

This is a cool picture of Claire and Dianne (otherwise known as the Dolly Sisters) racing the Fluidesign lightweight double in the Head of the Charles last fall:



For those who love this boat; putting it away means drying it off, opening the hatch and -- most important -- not putting it down on the Stroke Coach, or on one of the riggers (as it was found this morning.) We love it that the boat committee bought this for racing, but it is a somewhat delicate creature, so please take care of it!
