Boathouse cleanup: Jenn
Opening/cleaning/social event planned for May 4 9-11 AM; rain date Sunday
Jenn will make up a todo list; people can do the work at the
event or any other time
See tab named "Cleanup signup"
Jenn will bring coffee and bagels
Someone should bring a vacuum
Barry will bring a large battery-operated shopvac
There was discussion of whether we should continue US Rowing membership
for the club; our only benefit is a discount on (some) insurance. We
need to find out more about our current insurance coverage and alternative
insurers. Note that members may choose to join US Rowing (e.g., to row
in a US Rowing-sanctioned race) whether or not YRC is a member.
Carol has agreed to make a QR code sign to post at the boathouse
so rowers can use their cell phones to check the river flow.
Moi pointed out that we should expedite a decision about membership
and rack fees so that the forms on the web site can be updated,
and so that members can pay their fees before the season starts.
Since all members of the Board were present at the meeting, we
decided to convene a Board meeting:
The board meeting was called to order.
Carol reported that although we were slightly in the red
last year, membership we have now is likely to be stable.
Rent is increasing $100/mo. She proposed we increase
annual membership and rack fees by $25. This is a modest
increase that keeps us stable and avoids tapping into
our "rainy day fund."
The board voted unanimously in favor of Carol's proposal.
Carol will update the forms; Moi will put them on the
website; Anita/Jaime will send a message to the members.
The board meeting was adjourned.
Other business: Clare Doyle (Smith College coach) has raised
concerns about the hazards of logs hung up on the bridge supports;
several YRC members echoed or amplified concern. It's not clear
what organization is responsible for maintenance items such as
this, and also the deployment of navigation and "slow wake"
buoys. The suggestion was made to send email to our state
representative, Lindsay Sabadosa
to call attention to the hazards. Bob will talk to the MA river
steward for Connecticut River Conservancy, Nina Gordon-Kirsch,
to try to identify responsibility and funding for these items.
Thanks to Craig for marking snags during the season.

Re: YRC 2024 Season - Application & Waiver
Thanks for sending this out! Looking forward to the boathouse opening up. I realized I will be away on the weekend of boathouse clean up. Jenn, let me know?what I can do to contribute Halley
Hi Everyone!
On behalf of the Board, we are forwarding along the 2024 YRC Application and Waiver (see attached).? As you will see, the membership dues and fees have increased slightly - an additional $25 for membership and $25 for rack space.? This slight increase is to meet our increased expenses; rent has gone up and membership numbers have changed over the years.
Thank you for sending the application, waiver, and your payment to YRC’s mailing address, noted on the Application (P.O. Box 1451?Northampton, MA 01061-1451)?BEFORE your rowing season begins.? Each member is required to complete this process before taking your/a boat out on the river. ?
Ernie reports that the temperature of the water has been holding steady at around 50 degrees.? The water height and flow has been high but is expected to be coming down.? We look forward to sending out an email soon regarding the opening of the boathouse and the 2024 season.? Until then, the YRC Board looks forward to seeing those who can make it on Saturday, May 4th from 9:00-11:00 for our Annual Boathouse Clean Up. ??
We also wanted to take this opportunity to remind folks that the Yankee Rowing Club website is a great resource. (). Among some fantastic photos of club members on the water and other information, there is also a section that provides helpful links, including important safety info and a link to the water flow readings (). While we will open the club for boat usage once the flow drops below 20 kcfs, we urge you to regularly check the water flow before rowing, as it can fluctuate a great deal from day to day throughout the season.?
Hope to see you soon!? May this be a glorious rowing season for all!

Re: YRC 2024 Season - Application & Waiver
Craig,? Carol, Anita and I have discussed this. We probably need to bring this back to the BOD to get folks’ input. We did concur that the rate is low and frankly not terribly consistent.?
Thanks for flagging.?

Car rack and Vespoli Slings

I just called up John Matthews to personally thank him. He donated a really nice single car rack and a sweet pair of high Vespoli slings which lock. This was a really nice gesture and I wanted him to know we appreciate it. No need for reply NNFR.

? To Yankee members: ? I am retiring from the valley after 29 years to move to Canandaigua Lake in the Finger Lakes (near our 27-year-old daughter – 15 minutes instead of 6 hours). Where I will take up the Star (2012 Olympic Class) racing sailboat (letting my daughter helm the boat while I cast my heavyweight self over the side). ? I left my Vespoli car rack and 2 slings by the hoses for boat club. I really enjoyed being a member a while ago and look back fondly at the memories of rowing on the Connecticut. ?
