AGM March 3rd
The Annual General Membership meeting is next weekend. The prognosis for
getting two thirds of members to attend, so that we have a quorum for the
new bylaws election, is good. All members should have received the new
bylaws and the official meeting notice in the mail. If you have not,
please contact nereidsec@hotmail.com.
We have also sent out an Evite to get a read on attendance. Please
indicate if you will attend for the vote.
The trustees and officers are working on a slate of candidates for the
nine director positions that will be up for election if the new bylaws are
approved.
See you at the meeting – we’re counting on you!
==================
Men 8+ organized for Spring rowing
Could you put a notice in the next Nereid News that a mens’ 8+ is being
organized for Spring practice & competition. We will need 10-12 for a
rotating crew plus a cox or two. I expect that commitment will be for a
practice once a week, most weeks; subject to discussion. Frank Schaefer
will stroke, I’ll keep the ship’s log. If interested, either respond to
me by email – jvandertuin@bpbmv.com – or sign up on sign-up sheet in men’s
locker room at boathouse.

PRRA organizes 7th Annual St. Patrick’s
Day Erg Race
Nereid has traditionally had a good showing at PRRA’s erg race. This
year’s installment will be held on Saturday, March 17 at the Nutley Parks
and Rec Center, on 44 Park Avenue in Nutley. The race is 2000m in length
and there are men’s and women’s events in various age and weight classes.
There’s even a children’s race.
The registration fee is $20 before March 13, $25 after, and it includes a
T-shirt. For more details, contact Jen Smyth at
973-284-5665.
==================
Nereid Class to be offered at Montclair
Adult School
Nereid is offering a mini-course on rowing through the Montclair Adult
School this March. The class, which is entitled "Introduction to Sculling
and Rowing," will be taught by George Freimarck on two Monday nights from
7-9pm. The March 19th class will be held at Nereid Boathouse and the
March 26 class will take place at the Montclair High School erg room. The
cost for the course is $25.
The course listing can be found on page 41 of the School's Spring
Catalogue which was designed by Nereid member Suzy Kass! Registration is
done through the Montclair Adult School and can be done online at http://www.adultschool.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=1013&courseid=448.
If you have friends who have ever wanted to get a taste of what Nereid and
sculling is all about, please alert them to this class. While it
is geared toward the parents of current Montclair HS rowers, all adults
are welcome. They won't do any rowing in the 2 classes, but will get
oriented to the Boathouse and rowing technique through erging and videos.
This is a great opportunity to expose non-rowers to sculling and provide a
preview of Nereid's "Learn To Row" classes.
==================
A Play about Rowing
The LUNA STAGE in MONTCLAIR is currently running a play about rowing!!
HONOR AND THE RIVER. It got a nice review in the Newark Star Ledger.
Montclair Crew bought the entire theater (70 seats) for Thursday Feb.
22nd. as a mini fundraiser for the team. Tickets are $25.00 and will
include some refreshments and chance to meet the cast. If anyone is
interested in attending please contact Mariann Higgins to reserve seats.
mdh-15@comcast.net. ($20.00 is the face value on the tickets)
