Refunds for fundraising from the
spring rowing season will be available at the banquet or by contacting the
treasurer Gary Puchkoff (puchkoff@yahoo.com).
We are providing three options:
a) carry the balance forward into the fall season
b) receive a check for the balance
c) donate the balance to ARA
**************************************************************************************************************** Odds and ends...
We are always looking for ways to manage our costs. Often contacts
within the community can turn up great opportunities. Two items are in
front of us this summer.
Our shell trailer needs to be repainted. It's
given us 9 years of service so far and the wear and tear is starting
to be a concern. It has never been painted. This entails
essentially sandblasting and repainting. If any parents
have contacts in this area please contact Rafael Guerra at 226-1384
or
rafael_z_guerra@yahoo.com.
We are also planning to replace one or two
launches that are leaking and are 20 or more years old. If any
parents have contacts in this area, please contact Rafael Guerra at
226-1384 or
rafael_z_guerra@yahoo.com.

Beginning in 1950 the
Arlington School District adopted a program that allowed the sport of rowing to
become part of the high school athletic landscape. Under the direction of the
Arlington Rowing Association that tradition continues today. We offer a fall
rowing program (structured as a club sport) and wholly supported by the ARA
itself. Our spring program is similar to conventional varsity sports and we
compete in several major rowing events in the northeast. The team is composed of
both boys and girls who attend Arlington High School.
Our Mission:
The Arlington Rowing
Association exists for the sole purpose of coordinating the efforts necessary to
support our team. Through the combined efforts of the ARA's officers,
trustees, coaching staff, faculty liaison and many parents; we buy, sell,
repair, and maintain equipment, conduct vital fundraising campaigns, publish a
newsletter, provide wholesome meals at rowing events and proudly cheer on our
athletes as they compete.
Please use our web site to
get important information on upcoming events, practice times, fundraisers,
directions to regatta locations, volunteering and more. The Frequently Asked
Questions and About Rowing pages are published to help the families of our new
athletes learn more about this sport and its proud tradition here in the Hudson
Valley.

ATTENTION ROWERS AND PARENTS: Parents, please have athletes listen
closely to the end of the day announcements at school. In the event of a change
our only rapid option is to have an announcement made at school. Generally, if
we have a problem, we call one of the other coaches, and advise them to assist
with our squad. Thank you!
