An important message about dues & fundraising
You should have received your dues/fundraising accounting statement from our membership committee. Please us out by paying any outstanding amounts immediately. If you had a negative balance, that means you'll be able to apply half of that amount towards your student's Stotesbury or Nationals fee if he/she is going to those events. Those rowers going to Stotesbury know who they are and will be receiving a forms and fee package this Monday. We must have all of these turned in (as well as any outstanding dues/fundraising) before your student can go to Stotesbury. As you know, crew is somewhat expensive and while we have sought to make our team affordable for everyone, it does require that everyone cooperate. There are some limited opportunities for scholarships for those who are having financial difficulty - please call Don Squires 829-3998 or Susanne Churchill 966-0820 if you wish to request a scholarship.
