Check out
www.grrowing.org and click "Regatta" to check the schedule
for races. (You'll note that there are no Mixed 4s or 8s, so those are
out.) If you'd like to row 1,000 M, your choices are the Men's
Master's 4+ and 8+, Women's Master's 4+ and 8+ or Rec Women's 8+.
(There are also Master's 1X and 2X, but I think you'll have to find
your own boat.)
So, we need more alums who want to row.
Please note you have to be 27 to row Masters Races, so younger alums
will have to row the entire course in the open events, not just the
shorter 1,000 M. (I'm also willing to jump in a boat for the full
course, if we're short a seat.)
Also, Greg has a new E-mail address: sole...@sbcglobal.net, so contact
him there as soon as you can, as entries are due July 2. His cell is
still 616-644-1087.
