Winter 2008-2009 - G-ROW moves into the Harry Parker Boat House!
We are excited to announce that G-ROW Boston and Community Rowing Inc. are able to call the Harry Parker Boathouse ‘home’. G-ROW began practicing in the new boathouse the week of the Head of the Charles. With the winter season now in full swing we are delighted to have access to the erg, weight, and locker rooms. What truly makes having this boathouse so special for G-ROW is that we have our very own classroom which allows the girls to receive academic support in a more structured environment. We would like to thank everyone who transformed CRI’s dream of one day having a permanent home into a reality. G-ROW would also like to extend a heart felt THANK YOU to five outstanding sponsors of G-Row; Tom and Jillian Darling, Dick and Lisa Cashin, and Russell Schneider for providing us with the G-Row Classroom and all the amazing, technical resources within— G-Row is forever grateful to you! Spring 2008 - G-ROW wins 27 medals at Mass Public State Championships!! G-ROW had a phenomenal day at the Massachusetts Public School State Championship with six boats medalling in the finals. This was first time the novice team medalled at this event with the first boat bringing home the bronze and the second novice boat taking home the gold. In addition this year was the first time G-ROW entered a sculling event in which the double came in second. Congratulations to all the rowers, volunteers, and parents who made this day so special!

Winter 2008 - G-ROW is Moving into a New Boathouse Community Rowing's Boathouse for All Campaign continues to make great strides in raising the $15 million needed to build its new boathouse. As of December 2007, CRI has secured $12,960,000 in pledges and donations for its 30,000 square foot boathouse which will be located on the Charles River in Brighton.
Construction is coming along nicely as the foundations are poured and the steel framing is up on both the main facility and the Ruth W. Somerville Scullers Pavilion. In addition, CRI's four new docks are in the water. G-ROW is excited to have a new place to call home although the major benefit to moving is that G-ROW will have a classroom that will provide the girls with their own space for academic support. G-ROW would like to thank Nancy H. Cahners, the Sidney and Esther Rabb Charitable Foundations and an Anonymous Foundation for contributing donations to making the G-ROW classroom possible. For more information on CRI's Boathouse for All Campaign please visit CRI's website at www.communityrowing.org Spring 2007 - G-ROW medals at Northeast / Mid-Atlantic Junior Regional Championships and at Mass Public! G-ROW had a successful spring season with the second varsity 4+ placing third at the US Rowing Regional Championship beating programs from all over the northeast. The varsity team also raced to victory at the Massachusetts Public School Championship with both the 1st and 2nd varsity fours taking home silver medals in their events. Winter 2007 - G-ROW travels to Atlanta for Spring Break
This February vacation G-ROW headed down to Atlanta, Georgia to get a head start on the spring season. While on the trip the team rowed twice a day, hiked the beginning of the Appalachian Trail, toured Georgia Tech University and visited downtown Atlanta. The Atlanta Rowing Club hosted the team, providing boats, oars, coaching launches, gas, and even cooking the team a delicious pasta dinner. Thanks to ARC’s generosity, G-ROW had everything we needed to make it a successful and productive week of rowing. The team’s rowing improved tremendously over the course of the week. The eight days of intensive training gave the varsity an opportunity to focus on individual technical changes, while the novice learned to row together by all eight and even began doing racing starts by the end of the week. For many of the girls this was a trip filled with firsts; first time traveling away from home, first time on a plane, first time going hiking, and even the first time in a boat. These new and challenging experiences taught the girls valuable lessons about themselves and their teammates. Spring 2006 - G-ROW Wins State Championships!! G-ROW Boston varsity placed first in the Massachusetts Public School State Championship yesterday in the girls varsity 4+ with a 17-second victory over local rival Cambridge Rindge and Latin. G-ROW also placed second in the girls second varsity 4+ event.

He is not a rower (yet!) but he will be at the boathouse for practices and competitions to work with the girls to individually tailor our academic services. He is very enthusiastic and committed to the academic success of all of our rowers. Welcome Ed!! G-ROW
