Central Florida Rowing will be participating in their first regatta of the season this Saturday!!

Our Varsity and Novice Teams for both the Men and Women will be competing at the First Coast Head Race in Jacksonville, Florida. The race has some interesting turns and a fun line up of bridges to tackle!

If you are able to come out and cheer us on, we would be more than happy to see you! Directions can be found at http://www.fchr.org/ under "Regatta Information", then click on "Getting Around".

The race site address is:

The beginnings of our race schedule for the 2008-2009 year have been added to the site, check them out here. The schedule will be changing somewhat as we get closer to the events, so keep an eye out for that.

If you can make it to any of the regattas, stop by and say hi. It's always nice to have a little extra support out there. Corey Maynard

It's that time of year... the beginning! - Which means recruitment time for our team. We invite any student of UCF to come check us out!
There's no experience necessary to join the team; we'll provide you with all the advice and instruction you can handle!

Shoot us an email at centralfloridarowing@gmail.com, and our Recruitment Coordinator, Vadim Grigoryants, will get back to you.

Thanks for your interest, and we all look forward to meeting you! :) Erin Thompson

We've set up a log for donations to the team. This will serve two purposes: first, it will allow us to more accurately track the donations we receive, and secondly, to give our Alumni an idea of how the team is doing. The log will appear above the news feed occasionally, generally whenever we're trying to raise money for something specific. At other times, the log can be found at this page.

As you know, the team is going to Dad Vails soon, and holding a fundraising drive, with the challenge of matching Mr. John Petrakis' donation of $700.

As always, thanks for your support, We look forward to seeing you at the regattas! Corey Maynard

If you've been following the Yahoo! group emails, you may have noticed in the most recent Knight Times (Formerly the Lake Picket's Post) that the team has finally attained non profit 501c3 status. Thanks goes to Travis Raker for seeing this process through. Now, this means that donations to the team are now Tax Deductible, making it that much easier for you to help support the team.

Thanks also go to John Petrakis, for his continued support of the team. In addition to putting on the Petrakis Cup, he has donated additional money to help the team finance the team's trip to Dad Vail. If you are interested in donating to the team, you can specify what you would like to see the money spent on.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity. We look forward to seeing you at the regattas! Corey Maynard
