In addition. We are missing an erg from Silcox as discovered this evening. It’s the new one. Please tell me one of you fools that it was okay to borrow it and it is not in fact stolen.

Crew,

As per usual, I have mistakenly acquired some new possessions after the regatta. I now have:

-A tripod -Travis’s red folder -A Girls uni (left in bag) -Also, at some point I have also acquired a Green purse (I think it says “Cole Haari” for the brand)

Anywho, great work this season. We’ve had a pretty good run considering all the troubles we had at the onset. Good luck to those going to ACRA and to those graduates going off into the real world.

Remember, you never stop being an oarsman. I.e. take a few days off, if need be, but then start training again. Summer is a great time to improve yourself. If you can row, ROW. If you can’t do that, train on the erg and lift. Find some fun way to cross train so that you come back stronger than when you left. For the men, understand that with the present varsity, rising frosh, transfers, and experienced upcoming frosh, there will be a considerable amount of seat racing that will start on Day One of next season. There is certainly a chance that the bottom few rowers will not be in boats. Remember that, and train.

Good evening,

I hope your last week of classes aren’t too stressful. Here are a few notes from last night’s meeting:

*Derigging/Trailer Prep*: TOMORROW morning at 7am. If you’re going to SIRA, you will be there. Don’t worry if you have an 8am class because we’ll be done in plenty of time.

*Unisuits*:

- If you haven’t paid, you will NOT receive your uni and you will NOT be able to row at SIRA (or any championship regatta). – Please pay Dan the Man ASAP.

*SIRA *

- Meeting at YWCA at 8am Friday morning. If you are late, you will be left in Charleston and the rest of your boat will never forgive you. – Bring: – FOOD for the road. We will not be stopping for lunch because we need to arrive at the race site with ample time to practice. – Sleeping gear. This includes sleeping bags and pillows. Novice men should consider bringing sleeping pads, yoga mats, air mattresses. – Warm clothes & rain gear. It will be a tad chilly in the morning but it will warm up into the 70s throughout the day. 60%/70% chance of rain Saturday/Sunday.

*Election Results*: Congratulations to our newly-elected (or re-elected) officers for Fall 2012!

- Men’s Novice Captain: John Bro Wilson – Women’s Novice Captain: Steph Witcowski – Equipment Managers: Luke Rein & Michael DiPaolo – Secretary: Hank Hays – Fundraising Chairs: Gwynedd Arbury & Cara Lauria – Public Relations: Michael Richards – Social Chair: Olivia (Liv) Criddle

Thank you for your time. Keep up the hard work & good luck at SIRA!

Yours in oarsmanship, Hammer

You will * NOT* leave the meeting until the scrapbooks are completed. – *Bring*: sharpies, pictures, stickers, anything appropriate for a scrapbook

Thanks for your time. I shall see you all soon.

Yours most truly, Hammer

Crew,

– Just a friendly reminder to be at the YWCA at 2pm so that we can get up to Atl nice and quickly. I.e. if you’d like to eat dinner before 8 or 9, be on time. – Also, while it looks like the weather will be on our side, this regatta has some weird voodoo in that the weather usually turns for the worst. Dress accordingly as far shoes, rain jackets go.

– Lastly, but *importantly:* Coming soon you will be registering for Fall 2012 classes. You will be on the rowing team, and our practice times do not change. *SCHEDULE ACCORDINGLY*. We get a lot of excuses, “*I just don’t have time with my classes this semester*”, “*I can only make it to practice twice a week this semester*”, and so on. Remember, champions are people who don’t have excuses. However hard you think you have it, stop complaining, and recognize the guy in a more difficult situation who is accomplishing more than you. Determination is fundamental to becoming successful in rowing or anything else. – As a side note to this, start looking at how you’re going to train over the summer. At the end of my freshman year I knew that I was going to scull (rowing with two oars) all summer with a local club. I contacted them and was up and going days after Dad Vails. I came back the next fall a Much improved rower.

Varsity Men,

My phone broke. Mike Richards, I don’t have your number as well as many other people.

Be at the Ergs at 730 for some fun and pain.
