🫶 WE HAVE THE BEST VOLUNTEERS!
We had a very productive boathouse workday on 11/9.
Launches and motors were pulled, re-labeled and (mostly) numbered.
We inventoried items and a dear athlete swept out the bay.
We know this isn’t glamorous, but we so appreciate
all of your attendance and hard work. THANK YOU!!!
