More Halloween Pictures

The girls really did it up this year. Not to mention Previn---look at those udders! Me, on the other hand, well....the girls thought I was a "mom" for Halloween. Better luck next year!

Halloween at Row New York!

The Row New York girls and coaches in full costume on Saturday!

Row NY Novices Gear up for First Race

Once a week, I get out to the boathouse and am reminded of why I love Row NY so much. There's nothing better than being on the water. The fall is especially pretty, watching the sun set, and the leaves on the trees are all sorts of browns and oranges. The coaches are wonderful--funny, kind, dedicated, and smart. But the girls are, hands down, the best part. Without fail, they always make me happy. Just being in their company for a few hours is uplifting.

This novice 8 (pictured above) is learning to feather, preparing for their first big race---the Halloween Regatta--tomorrow! Stay tuned, more pictures coming.

Row New Yorkers at Girls' Leadership Day

Row New Yorkers attended Girls' Leadership Day on Saturday with our Development Director, Kathleen Klock. The event focused on economic empowerment and featured interactive workshops and discussions with female leaders. Our girls are pictured here with two jewelry designers who created their own businesses. Thanks to the New York Women's Foundation for hosting!

Row New York Event Big Success!

(Kennise Farrington & Rosie Perez)

I will admit it, I was a little bit worried that the rainy cold weather and the recession would put a damper on our annual fall event on Thursday. I am happy to report, though, that it was a wonderful night! Our event chairs, board members, and supporters were not deterred by the weather and showed up to show their support and enthusiasm for Row New York! Big thanks to all!

Row New York Parents' Dinner

On Saturday night, we crammed 60 Row New York parents into our office for our annual Parents' Dinner. Previn sent the girls down the street for a pizza dinner and the parents stayed behind for yummy Italian food and wine. The evening ended with erg races (see above for Previn taking on an 8 year old). We have a great group of parents this year and fun was had by all!
