IT'S ROW-A-THON TIME!!!

HELLO ALL CREWTONS AND FRIENDS

Yes, it's that crazy time again when we keep the erg wheel going for 24 hours through a cold February night. Do you remember sleeping in Blanchard or Kendall and playing word games all night?

This year's event begins on 2/12 and we hope to make it the best yet. We will be joined by young rowers from the Care Center of Holyoke who are part of our collaborative program, Rowing Strong, Rowing Together. We'd love to have YOU join in too if you are in the Valley.

WE WANT AND NEED YOUR SUPPORT. The cost of Spring Break has increased significantly over the years and the ROW-A-THON helps decrease individual out of pocket costs. Do you remember being a poor student? NOW IT'S YOUR TURN TO HELP AND WE ARE MAKING IT EASIER THAN EVER TO DO SO.

TWO WAYS TO DONATE:

1. Send a check (made out to MHC CREW) to Jeanne Friedman at Kendall Hall, Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA 01075

2. DONATE ON LINE.

$25 feeds an athlete for a day...$50 will really help with the bus rental
costs (no more midnight vans!)...$100 offsets hotel costs...
AND EVERY PENNY ADDS UP.

MOOSE VIBES TO ALL - THANKS!

So much has happened since the last update.
I know you will enjoy these photos. Soon we'll have

After that, we'll install ourselves!
