1. RESTAURANT FUNDRAISER TODAY, 4/15!

All day long – take your athletes there after morning practice or plan for an easy evening dinner. Dine in and mention Woodson Rowing or carry out and use the code below.

2. FRIDAY 4/18 TEAM DINNER CANCELLED, WEDNESDAY 4/16 LUNCH ON!
Due to low anticipated attendance, we have decided to cancel the Friday Team dinner on 4/18. BUT, we are transferring the effort and finances to providing lunch to the athletes at practice this WEDNESDAY, 4/16! What does that mean for parents? Well – still pack your athlete snacks, but skip the lunch preparations for Wednesday!

The tentative menu (all reported dietary restrictions will be accomodated):

Variety of sandwiches from Jersey Mike’s
Walking Tacos/Frito Pies
Cookies/Fruit Snacks
Smart Pop/Cheezits/Goldfish

Huge shout out to our Activities team for being flexible and to the volunteers who have stepped up to make this happen.
