Happy Holidays

Please Reflect on This

As it is still dark in the mornings when our rowers are out on their runs, it is strongly suggested that they all have some form of reflective-wear on them. A lot of outerwear for running comes with this already built in, but you can also find vests, arms bands etc that do the same thing. Let’s keep our Bulldogs safe!

Fundraiser Results

 

Kristen Salvas and Dave Trotter with our order

Our annual Citrus Fundraiser, along with some donations, earned our program about $1500 this year. Well done and thank you to everyone who participated and supported this initiative. It is through these on-going efforts that has allowed us to be able to purchase 4 new ergs this coming winter and give the SCRC a proposal to purchases a new quad (4x) for SWC and the Club.

Enjoy your Vitamin C!

Your time is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Citrus Pick-Up

The citrus order should be arriving at the school at 9:30 Saturday morning. We would appreciate that all those who need to pick up their orders to please be at the school no late than 10 am. We should have it off the truck and sorted by then. (And you and your rowers are certainly welcome to come earlier to help with that!)

Thank you again for your support of the SWC Rowing Program!!

Jack Nicholson

It is with great sadness that I tell you that Jack Nicholson, and legend in rowing and long-time coach and mentor – died last night.

Many of you may not know Jack, as he coached for the Ridley Grad Boat Club, but many of you will as he has been a force and a presence on the island and in high school rowing for decades. He coached me in 1978! He will be remembered fondly and greatly missed by many.

Thank you Jack!
