Towels

From Anne Jane:
Hi All
Last year we collected old towels from folks to be used for wiping down the boats after coming in. At the end of last season someone took them home to launder them but the towels never reappeared. How about if we all rummage through our closets and come up with another batch?

We set up a little system to ensure we had fairly clean towels available: once the towels got really smelly, someone from either EMM or our team will take a batch home, launder them and bring them back to the boathouse. There was an old clothes hamper for the dirty towels and a blue tub in which to put the clean towels near racks with the fours. I will make sure these are still around so we can get this process going again.

Where: Millvale
Volunteers Needed: 7 people:
  • 1 for Registration – make sure people sign in (leave their emails so we can send marketing their way) and sign their waivers
  • 2 to coach in the tanks
  • 2 to coach on the ergs
  • 2 to do the tour of the boat bays
Event Details:

46 people participants registered so far! Participants will be broken into 3 groups:

Each group would spend 30 minutes at each location.

Note from Rick: We could open up the registration to more people if anybody can think of another station. Some people may just show up without registering because they read about it somewhere other than our website and didn’t know about registering. Some people who registered won’t come because it’s a free event.
