Temporary¡ªNo access to boathouse
Dear YRC,
Our temperamental door keypad has now stopped working altogether, and we are waiting for the landlord to fix it. Ernie explained that unfortunately, there isn't a way for club members to access the boathouse without the keypad--there is no longer a way to open the door via the old key-in-the-box set-up we had. We'll have to wait until the keypad is fixed/replaced (or another locking mechanism is in place). We hope that this issue is resolved in a day or two. Thank you for your patience, everyone! Anita Fabos and Jaime Caron, co-presidents |

Entering the code for the boathouse door (if you don't succeed at first...)
On and off?the past few days, some of us have been having trouble getting the boathouse door to open/close: Sometimes the entry code is correctly entered, but the door doesn't open/close. If this happens, just try entering the code again (and again if it still doesn't work). So far, that has seemed to work.? We're trying to figure it out and fix it so?that?it works consistently the?first time the?code is entered,?but it may take a while. (We tried putting a new battery in, but the problem remained. There may be some moisture or dust in there that needs to be cleaned out.) Best, Ernie? |

Re: Boathouse Opening!
Thanks, Jonathan! We will reserve the honor of cleansing the men¡¯s bathroom, for you (to be done on Monday)Unless someone else cannot resist the temptation of doing it sooner!

Minutes of YRC annual meeting, 4/17/24
Minutes of YRC annual meeting, 4/17/24
12 members attending via Zoom: Anita F¨¢bos, Jaime Caron, Carol MacColl, Bob Sproull Ernie Alleva, Craig Schiff Moi Wurgaft, Barry Nigrosh, Jenn Ferree, Nancy Diessner, Halley Glier, Jane Kent Those attending voted unanimously to elect officers: President: co-held by Jaime Caron and Anita F¨¢bos Treasurer: Carol MacColl Secretary: Bob Sproull Those attending voted unanimously to elect board members: Ernie Alleva Jaime Caron Nancy Diessner Anita F¨¢bos Jenn Ferree Halley Glier Carol MacColl Craig Schiff Bob Sproull Moi Wurgaft (Benjamin Barnes and Christina Petersen emailed proxy votes in favor of both slates.) All approved the appointment of the equipment committee: Ernie Alleva Craig Schiff Bob suggested that the two should try to recruit a backup/successor. 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. Comments, corrections to Bob Sproull, secy |
