Parent Support Crew

Hello parents,

After Welland many of you have expressed interest in running a bit of a parent committee/support crew. I think this would be a great idea for our athletes who have worked very hard during a long season. As coaches we are fairly busy with the logistics of racing and training, and struggle to organize this end.

What I need is a volunteer to be a bit of a leader and a liaison to help organize other support volunteers to make it all happen. And of course anyone else who is able to help out in other ways.

Other schools have parent committees that run fund raising, supply tents and food and drinks for the athletes and organize rides to practices and events. I think if we could get some frame work for this started now and carry it over to next season it would make some things much easier for all involved.

Of course we have Schoolboy Regatta (Canadian Secondary School Rowing Championships) coming up, and it would be nice to have something set up for that.

Anyone interested, please e-mail me at d.ducroix@gmail.com with the subject line Support Crew. I will figure out who is best suited to head this program, and filter e-mails over to them.

Thanks!
