Spring is here !!!!!! NO REALLY IT IS !!!

Spring is here. The 2008 Spring season is about to begin.
Below are the things you need to do to get started with rowing in the Spring of 2007.
If you have questions email or call Tina Brown : tinabrown@rockisland.com or 376-7677.

• Come to one of the workput sessions @ the school gym 6:00 a.m. till 7:30 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday or the Saturday practice at the OIRA boathouse on Cascade Lake @ 7:30 till 9:30 a.m. Saturdays. This is just a temporary pre-season schedule.
• Fill in the following 3 forms and bring them with you and a check for $100 payable to OIRA to cover annual membership in US Rowing($45) and OIRA($55). These forms are PDF files that you should be able to download, print out fill in, sign and bring to practice. The OIRA waiver is necessary to attend pre-season practice. The money and the other two forms are only necessary if you decide you want to continue and attend "the real thing" which starts mmediately after Winter break February 26th. :
  
  
  • USRowing Waiver Form
    
  • OIRA permission form
    
  • Photograph model release form.
    
    OIRA will raise funds by selling phtographs and other parephenalia with OIRA images in cooperation with Martin Taylor of Edna Inc. We will sell yearbooks, calendars and also Martin will take lots of pictures of all things OIRA. All digital files will be available to OIRA members at no cost as before. Martin will donate 20% of all income after direct costs from other OIRA image sales to OIRA.
    
    
• For now it's just "Land Practice" @ the school gym 6 to 7:30 and practice or torture or fun of some kind at the OIRA boathouse at Cascade Lake from 7:30 a.m. till 9:30 a.m. on Saturdays. There will be a swim test some time if you haven't yet taken one at some time TBD. Maybe one of those Saturday torture tests !?
