Tag day is coming up. For experienced athletes, you are familiar with this. This is an important fund raiser for the club that you are all members of. We have 3 locations this year: Giant Tiger on Welland Ave., Giant Tiger on Scott St., and Rona on Dunkirk Rd.. I will make up a sign up sheet for 2 hour shifts between 9:00am and 5:00 pm. If you have a job or event that day, please tell me ASAP so that I can work around that first. I will have information sheets with contact information on the day of the event. Tag Day is mandatory for all athletes and there will be no rowing that day for any high school program. Below is the e-mail I got from the club directed to you.

SCRC TAG DAY – SATURDAY MAY 10, 2014
TO THE ATHLETES:
TAG DAY is the Club’s only annual fundraiser – the money raised supports your High School Program and helps to buy and maintain the equipment you use every day. We must have your help and participation!! The more athletes that agree to TAG, the less time each one will have to put in. Last year you over raised $12,000 –let’s top that this year
VERY IMPORTANT!!
• Your participation is not an option it is required – except under very special circumstances – talk to your coach.
• You are representing your school AND the St. Catharines Rowing Club – please take care with language, and general behavior etc. and be friendly!!
• Wear your school crew jacket or rowing shirt etc. to identify your self as a member of your school’s rowing team – if you don’t have one – BORROW from a friend - please no torn jeans or very short shorts etc.!
• Tag only outside the store or location where you are assigned and do not block doorways, hallways etc.
• Open doors for people who may have strollers, or people with lots of parcels, the elderly etc.
• You may ask people for their support just don’t be pushy!
• Even if they say “NO”, say “thank you” – they may change their mind!
• Be prepared to tell people that the money you are raising supports youth and high school rowing.
• Concentrate on the people leaving a store – they may be more likely to buy.
• Make sure you have a contact number for your coach or call one of the numbers below if you run into any problems.
• If for any reason you are not comfortable with someone who approaches you – IMMEDIATELY go inside the store, contact the Manager, your coach and one of the numbers below.
• No athlete is to take a tag box home – if the last pick-up seems to be late – call one of the numbers at the bottom of the page or your coach – do not leave until your box has been picked up.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT!!
