==================
Nereid files for
501(c)(3) status
A lot of work went into the application for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for
the Nereid Boat Club, which we
filed last week. Nonprofit status will allow us to apply for state and
federal grants and accept tax-deductible donations and matching gifts.
This is a big step for Nereid
and a major milestone in our bulkhead fundraising plan.
Many thanks to Phil Gartenberg, John Van Der Tuin, Bob Hoguet, Leigh
Hermey, and Al Medioli for assembling all the required documentation for
the application. And thanks to our members for approving the new club
board structure that made this possible.
==================
Boathouse brunch for Chris Doyle
All members and friends are cordially invited to attend a farewell brunch
for Chris Doyle, honoring his many years of commitment and service to the
club, and wishing him and wife Joan well as they begin their new life on
the banks of the Schuykill.
The brunch, hosted by Erik King, Chris' long time rowing companion and (re)founding
member of Nereid, will be
catered at the boathouse. Everyone should have received an Evite with the
date & time: Sunday, June 24, 10 AM.
We look forward to seeing everyone.
==================
Overview of Summer Rowing Programs
The schedule below lists all the summer rowing classes with the boats they
normally use. We hope that this will be helpful to members planning rowing
outings and that it will minimize equipment conflicts. The Directors are
working on identifying and addressing bottlenecks in equipment use (e.g.
club oars).

Interested in a Nereid
Polo Shirt?
I got the 'ok' to order polo shirts with the Club's logo. Would anyone be
interested in purchasing one? I'm ordering from my Adidas contact, so they
might be on the pricy side. I believe that it will be somewhere in the
range of $45.
What does everyone think? Just send me an email if you are interested.
Best regards,
John McKenna
==================
US Rowing needs volunteers on June 23
US Rowing is looking for volunteers to help run two events at Mercer Lake
on June 20, 21, 22 & 23. These are the trials for the Junior Team (under
18) and the Elite National Championships. Teams from Australia & Canada
will be traveling to compete. Come on out & meet some internationals who
you just might see competing at the Beijing Olympics.
If you have some spare time on any of these dates, please lend a hand. All
are welcome: parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters,
brothers......no previous experience necessary. Volunteers will staff two
shifts as follows:
Sat June 23 - 6am - 2pm (2 shifts)
Volunteers receive an official regatta T-shirt, water, and lunch (if you
work the whole day). To help out, please contact
Regina at USRowing, Ph. 609-419-1936.
