Member Responsibilities for the 2008 Regatta Season: |
Please click on the following link and find out what your responsibilities are as we
compete in and attend the 2008 summer and fall racing season. Whether you are a competitive member at every
age level, row for UTM or a Recreational member who wants to compete at some other regattas beside
Tops and Bottoms, you should read this. It clearly sets out how we conduct ourselves at regattas,
how we get there and back and states criteria for member-funded events. Lets all follow this policy
so that we are all clear on who does what and when so that our lives and the lives of our Head Coach
and program coaches are made much simpler. |

DRC Needs You!: |
Don Rowing Club is a volunteer organization: our club is only as good as we make it.
And whether you row rec or comp, being good on the water requires a lot of support off the water as well! Please offer your time, your energy, your talents,
and any products or services to which you have access to make 2008 a great year for all of us! Together we're better! | Don't know what to do? Check out DRC's Club Committees, and Fund-Raising Events to see where you can contribute - whether for ongoing or limited involvements. Some of the activities are rowing-related as we prepare for Rowing Camps, dock launching, and the new membership year - other activities support the club through marketing and communications, social events and fund-raising for new equipment. We need talents of every type and description. Consider the benefits: helping to build a stronger club, with nice folks who like to row .
Fund-Raising: |
Membership fees cover the operating costs of the club. Money raised through
fund-raising activities help to cover capital costs - most notably boats. We need boats, therefore we need to
fund-raise. We intend to raise funds both externally and internally to keep our fleet in top shape. Remember
donations are tax-deductible! | Look out for fund-raising activities throughout the year. We will try to make them fun, and for the most part, rowing-related. Help is needed with all fund-raising activities. If your company offers sponsorships - either for events or programs - we need to talk. We are able to direct funds to particular programs and provide sponsor recognition in a variety of ways. Please contact Roelof Makken at 416-253-9754 or roelof.makken@ternanalytics.com
Club Committees: |
We have five formal Committees and who need support, enthusiasm and skills to manage
the on and off water operations of the Club and its great facility. Other Committees, like the Social Committee need
members to help in making the Club a great place to row at and enjoy. Marketing and Communications need the skill
set to make sure we are in the local public's eye. Fund raising takes experience and skill. These Committees
continue to look for new members who will help the Club to reach its potential. All members are encouraged to
consider how they can support the Club and contact a Committee Chair to get involved. Click here for current
information and representation on all Club Committees .
