Sunday Sweep Coxing
Sunday Sweep is in need of 2–3 volunteer coxswains for each Sunday morning row. This is another opportunity to get your volunteer hours in for the club and get some coxing practice in. Since this program only gets out on the water one day a week we would like to make sure everyone gets that opportunity. If you have a couple of hours available from 7 to 9 on Sunday morning, we would love to have you. Please add your name to the coxswain tab on the sign-up sheet and mark an X under the date you are available.
