Your Feedback & Questions
Friday, January 27th, 2012

After our inaugural season Rivergate Park, we’ve been taking a look at the things did well and more importantly, the things we could do better. One item we’re focusing on is improving communications to our members about the myriad items associated with WRRA and the Cleveland Rowing Foundation boathouse. With a large increase in new WRRA members last year, sometimes we forget what new folks don’t know (opportunities to row more, volunteering, membership options). We’ll be sending out a newsletter shortly that will be one step towards providing clarity and understanding on some of those items.

We’re also looking for your feedback and questions on items you’re interested in or perhaps aren’t clear on. Feel free to e-mail us at info@westernreserverowing.com.  

WRRA Maintenance Day at the Boathouse
Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Date:  Saturday February 4

Time:  9 am – noon

Place:  Rivergate Boathouse

Contact:  volunteer@westernreserverowing.com

The first of seven WRRA volunteer maintenance days for 2012  is Saturday, Feb 4th.    Over the course of the year our maintenance tasks will be focused on the boathouse, docks and other rowing related infrastructure.  General grounds-keeping tasks will be hired out (lawn care, etc).  In this way we hope to utilize your time on tasks more closely associated with rowing.   Your assistance on these maintenance days is vital to maintaining our boathouse while minimizing the cost of rowing.

Volunteerism is an integral part of the structure of Western Reserve Rowing Association.   Those who volunteer gain a greater understanding of how our organization operates, and you’ll develop an enhanced connectedness to WRRA and your fellow members.  We value and respect your time and will make every effort to use it wisely.

The next volunteer maintenance day will not occur until June!  Please contact us at volunteer@westernreserverowing.com to let us know you can assist from 9 am – 12 noon on Saturday, February 4th.  Thanks!
