7. USRowing Membership. No action needed, WTW Crew Boosters purchase this for registered student-athletes so that you may complete step #8.

3. REMINDER: VASRA Workday Volunteers Needed. If you sign up for this, it will count toward one of your two required VASRA volunteer requirements. VASRA has one more fall workday planned this coming Saturday and needs assistance demolishing old docks/ramps and getting equipment prepared for the winter.

This work will be physically challenging and you will get wet and dirty. Please wear clothing that can possibly get stained, ripped or torn. Waterproof work gloves would be valuable (VASRA does have some work gloves, but may not have enough for everyone). Waders would be valuable if you have them (some people may have to be in the water during the demolition of the docks). Any demolition tools that you can bring would be helpful.

Work will be accomplished during three (3) hour work shifts from 9am-12pm or 1-4pm next Saturday, October 27th.

Please sign-up here and ensure you annotate you are with WTW Crew in the notes section.

Tag Days are when pairs of rowers/coxswains go door-to-door to spread the word about WTW Crew and accept donations from generous homeowners. On several designated dates, groups of four student-athletes are driven to their pre-mapped route by parent volunteers. This is also the only fundraiser that all athletes and parents are required to support. (athletes - 4 shifts for returning, 3 shifts for novice; parents - 1 driving shift per athlete on the team)

Sign-up genius now available.

We encourage you to plan ahead to fit Tag Days into your schedule.
