- WOODSON CREW STILL NEEDS YOU!
Please become part of the team that helps WTW Crew stay up and running. The WTW Crew Nominating Committee is looking to fill three crucial roles for next year. Current volunteers filling these roles are all either term limited or have graduating seniors. If you have interest or want to know more, please contact Catherine Backmeyer, the Nominating Committee Chair, on Slack or at [email protected].
- President (currently Tarek Rizk): The President manages the “business” of the team, to include contracts for the coaches and being the primary point of contact for outside organizations as well as the Principal and Director of Student Activities at Woodson. An ideal candidate is passionate about the team and its growth. You will work directly with other Executive Committee members and members of the Board of Directors to ensure the team is running smoothly.
- Fundraising Chair (currently Alice Wang): The ideal Fundraising Chair is willing to manage a team of volunteers who help organize and coordinate fundraising activities for the team. You work closely with the VP for Communications and the Volunteer Chairperson. You also sit as a member of the Board of Directors and help guide the team in support of the team’s financial plan.
- Volunteer Coordinator (currently Michelle Byman): The Volunteer Coordinator works directly with the Executive Committee, other members of the Board of Directors and VASRA to offer volunteer opportunities to the crew membership. Developing appropriate sign-up genius lists and logging volunteer participation are the primary duties of this role. This is a great position for someone who would like to fulfill their own volunteer commitment on their own time and has good organizational skills. You also sit as a member of the Board of Directors.
- TEAM DINNER, FRIDAY, APR 21
This week’s dinner is on FRIDAY, APR 21 in Woodson Cafeteria A. We still have space for ONE more chaperone this Friday. Sign up here.
- LAUNCH BOAT DRIVER NEEDED, SAT., APR 22
There is ONE volunteer slot available for a launch boat driver (starting around 11:30a) for the Ryz Obuchowicz Regatta this weekend. If you’ve completed launch driver training, please sign up here. If you’ve taken the training but feel a little rusty, please feel free to show up for a practice this week and ride with one of our coaches to boost your confidence!
- RYZ OBUCHOWICZ REGATTA, SAT., APR 22
Heat sheets do not become available until Thursday, Apr 20. However, it appears that 8’s will be racing in the morning for this regatta. That means it may be an early start to the day. Please plan accordingly. More information will follow as soon as it is available.
- SEE AND SHARE PHOTOS
Please share any photos you took at the St. Andrew’s Invitational with the team! Send photos to our Team Photographer, Colin, at [email protected] AND [email protected] (please send to both email addresses for now) so he can upload the photos into our team photos on SmugMug.
