==================
Don’t Forget National Learn to Row Day

Saturday, June 9th is National Learn to Row Day. Please come to the club that morning for a row – we need a good showing to encourage new rowers and potential members. Look for announcements in area newspapers.

==================
Head of the Passaic Committee Kickoff Meeting, Thursday 5/31

We are planning a kickoff meeting for this year's Head of the Passaic Regatta committee on Thursday 5/31 at 7 PM at the boathouse. This year's race is scheduled for Sunday, October 14, the weekend before the Head of the Charles. That looks far away but isn't for a lot of the planning activities.

We need to find volunteers for the committee to take on the following positions:

Race course & schedule planner
Race communications manager
Launches, docks & facilities manager
Publicity & public relations manager
Permits & registration planner
Sponsorship coordinator
Merchandise planner
Website developer
Volunteer coordinator

If you are interested in joining the HOPR committee, please contact Marc de Mul at regatta@hopr.org.  Let us know if you plan to attend the meeting. Looking forward to a great race!

==================

==================
Buildings & Grounds committee seeks lawnmowers

We are working on setting up a lawnmowing schedule for the club with a designated lawn mowing volunteer for each week throughout the summer and fall. If this works, it could save the club significant expenses for lawnmowing. Volunteers would sign up for weeks when they are available to mow the lawn in front of the boathouse and along the street. The number of mowing sessions for each volunteer will depend on how many sign up.

If you enjoy gardening and would be able to volunteer to mow our lawn once or twice, please contact Lieutenant Claire van der Tuin. Thanks for your help!

==================
Saturday morning open row

On Saturday mornings at 9 AM, Nereid hosts an open row at the club. We will put crews together with anyone who shows up. Afterwards, there'll be breakfast at the boathouse.
