Jenny & Ted,

 

I found last year’s email about this regatta, tweaked it for our use this weekend.  Please check all the details before sending J

 

Also, I had forgotten about the US Rowing Championship status required.  Here’s what it says on US Rowing in the entry packet for SE’s.  How many of our kids have this for 2015?  I’m renewing mine now…probably need to pass this on to parents to make sure it gets done.

USRowing Membership:

The USRowing Southeast Youth Championship is a USRowing-owned event.

Each participant is required to be a current, “Championship” member of USRowing. Each participant must also have a signed waiver on file for 2015.
