Hello NMRC Community,

More gear, more rowing and volunteer opportunities exciting member news this week!

NMRC is offering a new option for late season rowing.  We have a 6 punch card for $105.00 ($17.50 per row).  This gives you more flexibility.  Go to iCrew and get signed up for the rest of our 2022 season!

A big thank you to our coxswain, Aidan and junior coach, Ashley, who are heading back to college this week. We are so grateful to both for sharing their trained eyes and patient manners with us this summer!  They have helped us become better rowers, kept us safe and made us laugh as we get used to the waters near Solon Township Park. Thank you ladies and we hope you have an incredible year at school.


Gear:

As the autumn rowing approaches, consider ordering a NMRC Team Jacket now!  All orders for these custom, high-quality, Gore-tex jackets are due by Monday, 8/22, and we must have a minimum of 6 orders to get this price.  (Jackets are $253, nearly 1/2 off normal price of $465!) They will be delivered directly to you in 5-6 weeks. This will be the only opportunity to order these jackets in time for fall ‘22 and spring ‘23 rowing.
