Hey Team,

So I have slacked in my duties as Student-Alumni liaison and didn't tell you about an even we're having next weekend. I know it's short notice (and promise it won't happen again) but we're having a parents/alumni day. It will begin at 11 and end at 2:30. As a team we'll be having a short (1 hr) water practice in the morning and then we'll have a bbq, alumni row, and learn-to-row session.

If you know any alumni interested in rowing please contact Peter Toy at ptoy@student.umass.edu

If your parents or siblings would like to learn to row HAVE THEM EMAIL ME! We are sending them out in the barge and it should be a great time. We need more people though so convince people to join!

Mrs. Kearney has tried to get some parent involvement in this via her email list but no parents have answered her! So convince your parents to come, we'll have a bbq with some alumni and it'll all be over relatively early in the day so you can still enjoy your weekend.

Thanks Ladies,
Kendall

Parent Group!

Posted by Laura Simon at 11:33 AM

Laura,
Would you please forward this to the crew parents?
Thanks!

Dear UMass Womens Crew Parents-
My name is Susan Kearney, mother of Meredith '11, a UMass Womens rower. I have volunteered to help with Crew's Alumni Association.
I have asked Coach Laura Simon to forward this letter to you.

Along with the help of Pat and Ed Wakeham (Chelsea'11), my husband Moss and I are working to institute a parents group to help with tailgates and whatever way ther coaches need us to support the team.

Please respond to me at kearneysw@aol.com if you would like to join us in support of Women's Crew.
Add your daughter's name and year of graduation, parent's names, home addresses and cells.

There are 5 races left, if you are attending and would like to help with tailgate. This Sat is at home vs Amherst and many alums will be at that race because the banquet is also that day. Coach Simon is hoping we could host a breakfast for the Alumni who are coming to cheer for and network with our ladies.

If you send items for 4/24 (Amherst & intersqaud), 4/25 (Vermont), 5/01 (Dartmouth), 5/6 (possibly Dad Vails) and 5/22 (Nationals) send an email to me. I will circulate a list.

Please respond either way with your contact informaton, we'll retain it for next year, also.

Thanks and GO UMass!
Susan and Moss Kearney
Pat and Ed Wakeham

Alumni & Parent Day: April 24th

Posted by Laura Simon at 9:56 AM

UMass Boathouse

8am to 11:30am

Please bring your rowing clothes if you would like to row! We are hoping to get some parents & alumni out in boats on Saturday if time allows!!!! MIT sadly will not be present, but we will be racing Amherst College .

We have some parent & alumni volunteer's bringing food:

The Tocco's: muffins (3 dozen & coffee)
Nancy Breef-Piltz (bagels & cream cheese)
Katie Flickinger '98 (orange juice)
Sarah Potts '08 (fruit & napkins)

Please feel free to bring whatever you feel people will want to eat.

From noon to 2pm there will be an informational meeting about becoming a Judge Referee. We realize the banquet starts at 3pm, so you are welcome to poke your head in, show your interest and then leave early if needed. This is an informational meeting, it does not commit you to anything. It will take place at the boathouse.

Laura Simon '98
Assistant Coach
