Just one more thing...check out the TRRA website...Vern is April Volunteer of the Month. Here's the write up in case you missed it. Way to go!

"Vern Keenan is an active and enthusiastic member of Three Rivers Rowing. She began her rowing career in Toronto, Canada in her early twenties where she was appointed captain of the team. At Three Rivers, Vern began rowing for the Alcoa corporate team 6 years ago where she has dedicated much of her time to volunteering and also serving as captain. Vern continued her service as she joined the Masters Women’s team 2 years ago. She was driven and volunteered her time as one of the co-captains for the Masters Women. During this time, she continued to organize her schedule such that she could find time to be a positive influence as she assisted Devon in coaching rowers during the Winter Rowing League training in the evenings. Here she continued to demonstrate her knowledge and skills while helping others

Vern is a mother of 2 children and works full time. She regularly attends practices with the Masters Women team and finds time to manage additional workouts on the “off’ days to maintain her fitness. She is an asset to any group. Vern will always bring her high motivation, smile and enthusiasm to any situation and make it a better experience for all.

Thanks Vern!!!!

Hi all,
Next time you're down at Lambert Boathouse, you won't be able to help yourself but to stop and admire the fantastic mulching job up top and down by the water. With couple of wheel barrows, many shovels & rakes and pitchfork, the men "dug in" for an arduous, but satisfying, three hour job. The key to the morning's success was Bob Ball's rock rake. All were amazed and wowed with the dexterity and handling displayed by Ball.

MM captain Steve Carr, organizer and leader of our the effort, was capably assisted by Bob Ball (aforementioned and well known "gentleman"), Chuck Criss (also a "gentleman), Chris Ryan (yet another "gentleman"), Mark Puda, Matt Loughren, John Watt, Jason Monnel and Coach DWP.

Thank you men!
A great effort and job well done with today's (3/29) TRRA Spring Clean-up.

p.s. Special accolades to Chuck for talking with Washington Landing's landscapers to discover that coincidentally, this very next week they will be bringing in an additional 4 ton's of mulch themselves for the island- and will by happy to "supplement" our efforts where maybe it appears a little thin. Chuck, thats a heads-up play!
