The “Learn-to-Row” Day held by the North Rockland Rowing Club, sponsored by U.S. Rowing, was held down at the Haverstraw Ferry Landing on Saturday, June 5th. At least 50 new rowers showed up this year, and they were all able to try the rowing machines and go out on the water in the crew shells. It was a great day of learning and exposure to the sport!
There has been great interest in the sport and the Rowing Club from many Haverstraw residents and other Rockland County natives. Feel free to contact the Rowing Club at (845) 942-1030, and ask for Susan or Jerry. Also, visit the website at www.northrocklandrowingclub.org ! It’s VERY fun and rowing exercises the entire body!
Learn to Row Day is being held at Admiral’s Cove Marina (the rear of the Haverstraw-Ossining parking lot) on Saturday, June 5 from 9am until 5pm. Please, come early so we can get you in a boat to learn to row! Questions, call Jerry or Susan at 845.942.1030
Addition: Learn to Row Day is on Saturday, June 5, 2010 from 9am to 5pm at Admiral’s Cove Marina, Dr. Girling Drive, in the Village of Haverstraw (this is just north of the Harbors at Haverstraw neighborhood), off Route 9W and Short Clove Road, Haverstraw, New York.
A bit of trivia:
