Youth Rowing
Junior Spring Season is here!
North Cascades Crew’s Junior Program is open to young people ages 14 – 20. The athletes take on leadership roles and are part of the decision making process. They work as a team and take on responsibilities from planning the season regatta schedule to fund raising. Adult mentors provide guidance through this process but it’s the athletes who are fully engaged in determining the direction of their rowing program. We also have a Discovery Crew for ages 12 - 13. Practices are Monday - Friday, 3:00 pm - 6:00pm. 3 Days/Week or 5 Days/Week options. Email info@northcascadescew.com or call 1.888.ROW.NCC1.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR 24 HOUR ERGOTHON FUNDRAISER!
Thanks to all of you who came out to support our annual Fall fundraiser. Our goal was to raise $6,000 to help us purchase a new boat and allow us to accommodate more rowers in our program. Rowers kept an ergometer (rowing machine) spinning for 24-hours at Haggens in Lake Stevens. We enjoyed meeting everyone who stopped by as we took turns rowing 30-minute shifts from 4pm Friday, October 9 to 4pm Saturday, October 10.
Donations in any amount are still welcome. Checks may be mailed to: North Cascades Crew, P.O. Box 1506, Lake Stevens, WA. 98258. Thank you!
Congratulations to Wayne Matheny, Don Hoffmann, Kat Runyon and Greg Williams who won Multiple medals at the Senior Games in Olympia July 26th!
