Although most rowers/parents have signed a waiver for 2017, as of Sunday the 12th seventeen rowers still had not signed the waiver for this year. Either Coach Fitz or membership contacted these rowers and/or their parents individually over the weekend to remind them to sign the waiver. If you are uncertain whether your rower’s waiver is signed for 2017, please contact membership at wtwcrewmembership@gmail.com Rowers are not allowed on the water to practice until the waiver is signed. 7.
