Lighthouse For the Blind Outreach Program

Over the weekend the club hosted kids from the Lighthouse for the Blind, and gave them a fun day of rowing instruction. (LightHouse is a non-profit that promotes independence, equality and self-reliance in blind and visually impaired people, via rehab training and relevant services.)

Activities on Saturday included trying out the ergs upstairs, learning to handle an oar using dock boxes, and then a row out on the creek in an 8+. The day was capped by pizza and refreshments.

Thanks to all the varsity girls and other club members who helped make the day so fun and rewarding for all.

Christening of the James Z. Pugash 8+

As many of you know, Jim Pugash passed away in September. The Marin Rowing Association needs your help to purchase an 8+ in honor of him. We are reaching out to friends of the MRA to contribute to this worthy cause.

UPDATE: On Saturday, November 25, we christened the James Z. Pugash 8+. The boat was rowed by the Pugash family rowers following the christening! Thanks for all your help.
