MRC Membership
MRC members are the lifeblood of our organization. Your commitment to membership means that you will support MRC in a variety of ways including:
- Renewing members should annually, in January, submit completed membership and waiver forms (available on the Club Documents page) and send them to the MRC Treasurer, along with your dues payment
- By June 1st make sure your membership dues have been paid in full.
- At least once per year prior to rowing, review the safety policies and river map and watch the safety video.
- Check the bow list for your boating opportunities.
- Volunteer. Every member's volunteer commitment is 4 hours per month. Volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks including cleaning and maintaining all equipment, the boathouse and grounds and assisting with Learn to Row, Way to Row, Veterans, Juniors and Novice programs.
- If you'd like to volunteer special skills to assist MRC, inform the appropriate MRC committee chair or board member.
- If you're not signed up for an MRC group mailing list, do so. Except for postcard notices of annual meetings, our email lists are the official communication method for MRC.
- To receive and send messages intended for all members, email to join the list and use this email to send a message to all MRC members

- Once or twice per year you'll get a postcard inviting you to attend a MRC general meeting. It's important that you attend. A quorum of MRC members is often required for approval of decisions that will directly affect the MRC membership.
- Bookmark MRC wiki and check it often. It's used for scheduling practices and sharing information without using email. MRC members can post and edit the information here.
