Parent Volunteers

SJRC is a group of people working together to make rowing accessible, affordable and fun.  We exist due to the wealth of talent and energy of our rowers and parents.

In order to keep our club operating we need your help throughout the season.

Whether it is a work party for house and grounds cleanup, coxing, ergometer maintenance, fundraising or special events, it is the responsibility of every member to contribute to the enrichment of our organization both on and off the water.  Don’t worry about not knowing what to do, we’ll teach you!  Volunteer and service opportunities are posted regularly throughout the season.

Organization and Funding

All funding comes from member dues, individual and group fundraising, as well as private and corporate donations.  Money is used primarily for coaching, equipment, and regatta fees.  The William and Sarah Cooper Cup Regatta at the end of April is our primary fundraiser.

The Food Tent

The food tent is the heart of the club.  It is our information center, lost and found, and nutrition replenishing center.  The rowers have come to depend on some very faithful volunteers who make sure hot food is always resent for the rowers.  The rowers families supply bagels, donuts, fruit, coffee, hot chocolate and water in the early morning.  Around noon the menu switches to hot  dogs, hamburgers, chicken, chili, soup and sandwiches, salads, pasta dishes, whatever the weather dictates.

Volunteers to help set up the tent and prepare the food are always needed.  A schedule of parental responsibilities will be established by the Food Committee and posted in the Schedule section of the web site.
