Be Prepared!
The Junior Team will participate in Canadian regattas in 2010. New federal
rules require proof of identity and citizenship to enter the United States.
Apply for a passport now if you don't already have one. Documentation requirements
are detailed on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
website.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of MRC. Both team members and their parents must contribute service work throughout the season. The Junior Team will maintain equipment, the boathouse and grounds and will spend time raising funds to support team activities.
The Parent Booster Club supports athletes and coaching staff. Parents are responsible for regatta food, lodging, carpooling and chaperoning, team financial support and fundraising activities.
