Hope for the future

From Tanya:

Good Afternoon!

As some of you may know, there have been some recent changes with regards to the organization of our team. Several women of the M/W group have chosen to row in set boats and made the announcement at this morning's practice. Please understand that the decision was by no means an easy undertaking. There was a great deal of thought put into the decision, and they delayed in making the announcement to avoid hurting anyone's feelings. We have made great friends, made great memories and will move forward with much continued success.

With that said, I want everyone to know that we are still a team; we just have our own boats and that's the only difference! We will all work very hard to assist each other with getting boats on the water and making it a smooth transition. The club operated like this for many years, and the system worked very well. You'll experience it and become comfortable with it quickly. There will be a few bumps and bruises along the way, but we'll get through them together.

"Hope is the companion of power and the mother of success, for those of us who hope strongest, have within us, the gift of miracles." --Sydney Bremer
