1. SENIOR VP STILL NEEDED
We are still looking to fill a non-voting Senior VP position on the Board for next year. This position is designed to give someone who is considering becoming the President of the Rowing Booster Board a year of training before stepping into the position. The best part of this job is that you will be directly supporting and observing, which is a fantastic opportunity to learn how the board and President position works. Questions or interested in learning more? Talk to Bill Westman tonight at the End-of-Season Banquet!


2. END-OF-SEASON AWARDS BANQUET TONIGHT!
Whether you sent an RSVP or not, please plan to attend the End-of-the-Season Banquet on Tue, June 4, 7p at Woodson Cafeteria A. There will be pizza, cake and a variety of potluck items contributed from families. We will be celebrating all the whole team; athletes, coaches AND parents/guardians! This is more than just an end-of-season celebration. Coaches will present awards, we will recognize our seniors and attending parents will have an introduction/vote for next year’s new board members!


3. SUMMER ERG RENTAL PICK UP TONIGHT!!!!
After the end of season awards banquet, meet Riz at the erg she (behind the school) to pick up your erg! If you didn’t already reserve one, you can Sign up now to reserve an erg and submit payment via PayPal. This form will be closed at 5:00pm tonight.


4. SCHOOL PHYSICALS FOR NEXT YEAR
Each year, it is required that all student athletes have a completed VHSL physical on file before participating in sports. Set yourself up for next season by signing up for the Athletic Trainer sponsored Sports Physical Night to obtain a valid VHSL physical for the entirety of the 2024-25 school year. The cost for the physical is $50. 

The Athletic Training Program receives no funding from FCPS, and this event is their ONLY fundraiser for the year. ALL proceeds go towards helping the program purchase supplies. 

Sign up for an appointment for a physical here. Even If you cannot make the Woodson event on June 10, sign up for another school’s event using the same form.5. RECRUITING

Last week there was an Activities Fair at Woodson designed for incoming Freshman to see all the extracurriculars Woodson has to offer. Hearty thank yous to the athletes that manned the table. We received some interest – but to be truly honest – our BEST source of recruitment is YOU. It’s never too early to start talking to neighbors and friends about all that rowing has to offer. Send potential recruits to our interest form at: https://bit.ly/24-25WoodsonRowing or have them send an email to: [email protected].


6. SPIRIT WEAR RECYCLING
Do you have old Woodson Crew/Rowing spirit wear that you no longer wear? Or perhaps you’re looking for a community conscious way to clear up those overflowing drawers? We can help. We will collect your gently used spirit wear for intra-team recycling (think Tag Days) or resale. All items will be reconditioned and washed. If offered for sale, they will be sold for a fraction of the retail price to benefit the team. Help other up coming Woodson families sport their support without breaking the bank. If you’re interested, please join the #spiritwear-resale channel on Slack and/or bring the items you wish to recycle to the banquet tonight!
