Dear SA Parents (Novice and Varsity Families Only),

As we head into Southeasterns at Lake Lanier this weekend, here is what you need to know-

VOLUNTEER ALERT:   We still are short a few helpers for this weekend, please consider helping out at our LAST tent city of the season!

SUNDAY AFTERNOON is our primary need and we could use a few more hands on Saturday AM as well.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON - AT THE BOATHOUSE - we need 1-2 people to help  Scott load up the Tent City Trailer at 5 or 5:30pm, whenever you can get there!  You will be finished well before 7pm.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON - AT THE VENUE - we need 2-3 people to work with Scott to help secure our tent city location, unload the tents, set up the tables.  At Lake Lanier from 1-2pm.

Due to the race schedules, some rowers may not be in events on both days.  If you discover that your child is not rowing on the day that you volunteered, you will still need to show up at Tent City for duty or find yourself a replacement (the show must go on!).
