2011 - 2012 COMMITTEES
Parent Practice Volunteers: Chair: Jill Cummings
Members of this committee will work directly with Crew Club rowers and coaches at land and possibly water practices. Parent volunteers will lead land practices (training provided) when the coaches are on the water. Assisting at water practice and driving coach launches may be needed on occasion. Practice Committee members should be available one afternoon per week/ year-round. Hours vary but are generally from 3:00pm – 5:15pm.
Regatta Support: Chair: Mark Hodges
At each regatta, two people will be needed to provide oversight of rigging, safety and assisting the coaches. This committee also works the logistics of regattas (ensure regatta registration, ensure trailer drivers are assigned, ensure regatta schedules are posted at tents, etc.)
Shells and Launches Maintenance: Chair: Dennis Simmons / Mark Hodges
Launches, motors and fuel tanks need to be prepped for water practice. They all need to be cleaned, maintained, emptied and prepared for storage when water practice ends. Maintenance of and repairing the shells are the primary responsibility of this group. This includes keeping a spare parts inventory. Routine work needs to be done before and after fall/spring water practice. Additional in season repairs may be needed to keep the shells in usable condition.
Dock/Oar Rack/Launch Site: Chair: Geoff Olander
Keeping the floating dock, oar racks and the launch site in good repair and in safe/usable condition. Maintaining, repairing and replacing worn out structures. This must be done before water practice starts and occasionally during the year. The launch site needs to be cleared and cleaned for the off seasons
Trailer: Chair: Dennis Simmons / Doug Swanson
Driving and tow vehicles: Get boats and food trailer where they need to be (practice, warehouse, and regattas). This includes enlisting and training drivers. Maintenance and Repair: Keep both trailers maintained, repaired, cleaned and stored before and after the rowing seasons.
Fundraising: Chair: Peter Chiusano
Take charge of fundraising. Manage fundraising events like carwashes, yard & bake sale, etc. We manage and sign up volunteers for these events, utilizing crew student board to assist. We also test new fundraising events for their profitability.

Provide food & drink for regattas. Assist with set up and breakdown of tents and serving tables.
Eastern Virginia Scholastic Rowing Association (EVSRA): Chair: Kim Whitley
Assist in the set up and breakdown of the NRB regattas, to include the racing course. The major preparation is usually done the afternoon (or weekend) before the regattas, and consists primarily of moving and anchoring platforms. The other responsibilities are completed the morning of the regattas, placement of race course buoys, setting up lane markers, and ensure proper orientation of the finish line. The breakdown of the course is done immediately after each regatta. There are EVRSA meetings throughout the year.
Travel: Co-Chair: Mark Hodges & Heidi Gallant
Take charge of planning for the out of town regattas by setting up accommodations and relaying this information to the club.

Uniform/ Spirit Wear: Chair: Rhonda Lewis & Debbie Bademian
Initially the companies will need to be contacted to check on prices of all items to be sold. Once prices have been solidified, an order form will need to be created, listing a description of each item, sizes available, and pricing. Be sure a deadline date for orders to be received is listed on the order form. Also, when collecting orders, they must be accompanied either by cash or check (made out to FCCCA).
