Start of the Fall Season! 09/05/2011
We will move practice back to school due to weather. I will meet with anyone interested in joining the rowing team at 3:15 in front of the Gym. If you have paper work completed you will be allowed to attend the practice that will follow. We will hold this joint practice time Tuesday - Friday of this week while we get old and new members paperwork sorted out. Please bring a friend or a freshman. We will have a better idea of when we will start full schedule on the water with coaches after this week. Thank You Coach McCormick. Photography Contest 08/31/2011
The MRWA is hosting a photography contest to show off pictures of the Mystic River. How cool would it be if we could get the team on there? Here's a link to the site and some rules. If you've got any awesome pictures hiding away, send them in! Volunteer Hours? 08/03/2011
 Any of you out there need volunteer hours, or just want to help keep the river clean? If you're free on August 13th, the Mystic River Watershed Association needs some help clearing water chestnuts from the Mystic. See the details below if you're interested... Last year our end-of-year water chestnut harvest yielded 372 baskets. This year our goal is to harvest 500 baskets of water chestnut for our final event! Please sign up online and help us out with what will be a fun and productive morning on the water! On Saturday, August 13th,Groundwork Somerville, with support from the Mystic River Watershed Association and the Friends of the Mystic River, will host a community event focusing on the removal of invasive water chestnut from the Mystic River. Using canoes, kayaks, and small boats, volunteers will pull water chestnuts out of the water by hand and then deposit the harvested plants at a designated shore site. Volunteers who have canoes or kayaks are encouraged to bring their own. If you need a boat, we will provide a boat for you by counting needed boats through the registration process. Volunteers are also needed on land. Volunteers should meet at 8:00 AM at the DCR boat ramp adjacent to 75 South Street in Medford, MA. A limited amount of parking is available on South Street; additional parking is available on nearby Curtis Street, Maple Ave, Touro Ave, and Manning Street. Please register for this event using our Online Form. If you have any questions, contact jonathan@groundworksomerville.org orpatrick@mysticriver.org. Boaters are required to use life preservers/personal flotation devices (PFD’s). Immediately following the hand-pulling event, lunch and refreshments will be available for volunteers at the put-in site. Learn more about water chestnuts at www.mysticriver.org/invasive-species/.
