College Recruiting Meeting

Earlier this spring (2008), a meeting was held for parents of high school rowers to present information about how rowing fits into the college admissions process. Many parents communicated their gratitude for the information since it had never before been provided to them. As a result we are running the program again.

Please join us on June 17th at 7:30PM to discuss rowing in college and its impact on the college admissions process. The meeting will be held at 55 Woodlawn Drive, Chestnut Hill (Newton).

In order to succeed with college admissions and find the best rowing program for your child, we believe that is important to have a clear plan of action, understand how to navigate the process and carefully manage options without burning any bridges. We will discuss these issues, review the college admissions time line and if interested we will provide individual consulting services focusing on how to manage the process and integrate rowing as a factor in a successful college search.

Please feel free to contact us maura@rowersedge.com or gail@rowersedge.com . We are happy to answer any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

First Annual Athletes in the Community-SHS Crew Team Community Service Project

A Success!

What a great job all our student athletes did! They arose to the occasion on this one. The First Annual Athletes in the Community-SHS Crew Team Community Service Project was a success. The weather gave us a break, everyone showed up and most with rakes. As I went from house to house I was impressed with the cooperation and commitment to getting the work done. Particularly impressive was the work site with over 30 leaf bags and a brush pile 4-5' high and the site with a 10' trench the kids had to climb down into. Several of the homeowners expressed their thanks for a job well done and greatly needed by the homeowner.

Thank you to the coaches, Deb Silverberg and Carolyn Lavin (parent volunteers) for helping me monitor the work sites and a special thank you to Sue Chatten for her all around support and help in connecting with the Senior Center staff.

We plan to continue with another service project during the Fall season.
