4. Eden's Rudernkrieg Fundraiser (Feb 14th.)


   We will once again be hosting the annual Rudernkrieg Indoor Rowing Competition. This is our biggest fundraiser and proceeds go towards buying major equipment such as boats and oars for the school. Last year we hosted 9 schools and over 300 athletes from across Niagara. 
   WE NEED YOUR HELP! We need athletes and parents to help with running this event. All athletes have mandatory volunteer time and are expected to be at the school any time from 6:30AM to 4:00PM. (schedules for racing and volunteering will be posted closer to event.) Parents who are able to work registration and consession stands or other various jobs can contact Janet Elliot at janet.elliot@dsbn.org.




We are looking forward to a great season. If things are unclear, please talk to your coach.
