Jerry Conners, parent of junior rower Meagan Conners, spearheaded the effort to get approval from Thriftway for their program. Thriftway will donate 1% back to the rowing program for each dollar spent at their store, with few exceptions. It has been decided that these funds will go towards purchasing new boats for the benefit of both junior and master rowers.How can you help? Collect your Thriftway receipts, put your last name on them, and add your phone number. Bring them to the boathouse and put in the collection jar, or give them to Joanne Kicinski and she'll get them to the proper person. If we all collect our receipts, we can collect a handsome amount of money towards new boats. Set up an envelope in your kitchen, and start collecting today!

Scan forward to the 2:38 mark for a quick glimpse of former Vashon Juniors rower Tom Kicinski. He was caught on camera at a national rowing camp exhibiting some rather bad form (a video for which Tom has apparently caught plenty of flack from his college rowing buddies at the UW). It just goes to show, however, that with solid coaching, a few corrections and a lot of fortitude, one can still wind up in one of the nation's elite university rowing programs.UXnKyJdA01w Main Section - Master Crew Corner Tue, 20 Nov 2007 09:30:57 +0100 http://www.vashonrowing.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=45 Vashon Island Junior Crew has set up with Vashon Island Thriftway to be a part of their 1% for Non-profits program. Thriftway will donate 1% of the dollar amount totaled on receipts turned in to them from participating non-profit organizations. Last spring, we began collecting receipts from both Junior and Master rowers and their families, wth the intent of all proceeds being used for future boat purchases. We encourage you to start saving those receipts now and donate them to crew. Just put your name and phone number on each receipt, and turn it in to the handy jar in the boathouse. A parent volunteer will collect the receipts and turn them in to Thriftway - all we have to do is watch our proceeds grow. Start saving now!
