2. TONIGHT – RESTAURANT FUNDRAISER AT TOBY’S ICE CREAM!

The rainy weather outside means it’s the PERFECT day to snuggle up with a movie and some ice cream after dinner! Please visit Toby’s Ice Cream in Vienna between 5-8p today (April 2) to get the best ice cream in the area AND benefit our team. 280 Cedar Lane SE, Vienna, VA 22180.

3. PARENT LEARN-TO-ROW FUNDRAISER

As a fundraiser for the team, some of our coaches have offered to volunteer their time to take parents out in some of our shells to get a feel for what our athletes do every day during the season! The Parent Learn-To-Row will take place on Sunday April 14 from 10a-12p. We are asking participants for a minimum donation of $50 to the team. There are currently 12 spots available (some of the seats in the boats will be manned by athletes). If the spots fill up, please add yourself to the waitlist (no fee needed to do so)!!

More info and SIGN UP HERE!

4. PLEASE SHARE YOUR PHOTOS AND VIDEOS

Thank you to so many parents and athletes who are taking photos and videos at our regattas! The BEST way to share your photos, save them for posterity, AND get them off your camera roll is to get them to the Woodson Rowing SmugMug site.

5. TRI-MEET SCRIMMAGE THIS WEEKEND

This Saturday (April 6), we have a local scrimmage that is much more accessible for spectators who may have a hard time navigating Sandy Run for traditional competitions. Lots of details available on the website: Tri-Meet Details.

There WILL be a team dinner this Friday, April 5 after practice. We do still have a need for one more volunteer to help with Clean-Up. Sign up here.

6. REMINDER – SENIOR NIGHT 4/26

Just a reminder that we are welcoming senior families to the senior night dinner on Friday, 4/26 directly after practice at Woodson Cafe B. More details to follow.
