- Maintaining safety on and off the water.
- Investing in equipment maintenance and upgrades
- Helping newer members integrate into the club
- Volunteering at various Princeton events and regattas

Captain's Report
Some reminders:
- We're training Tue, Wed, Fri 5:30AM and Sun 4pm this winter. Signup for indoor training at clra.com/events. If you miss sign-ups, add a $6 donation for each session at clra.com/donate
- It's best to pay your Laker account monthly, maybe with your normal bill paying cycle. Less transactions reduces our credit card charges. A bank debit card also has lower fees. I will send reminders when needed.
- Our Princeton boathouse hosts have asked us not to park in the boathouse parking lot. There are exceptions including coaches and coxswains. Look here for suggested parking: clra.com/parking
- 2023 LTR members need to renew as 2024 members to sign up for events starting 2/1/2024. Transitioning from LTR status is a manual process. Please reply to this email and I'll help get it done. See clra.com/membership for membership levels and fees.
Back on the water starts Sun 3/17/2024 including a back on the water party in the boathouse. It's coming up fast in 7 weeks! The Lakers will continue to train indoors too year around.

LTR
Our 2023 Learn to Row class is starting off the year with a strong turnout for erg practices! We encourage all new rowers interested in or curious about racing at CLRA to reach out to Race Captains Genevieve Looby, Elisabeth Hauptman, or Daren O'Sullivan. Racing isn’t just for expert rowers!
LTR T-shirts and certificates are still available for anyone who would still like them. Contact Laura ONeill by email to arrange pick up.
Thank you to all who participated in the survey (link below for those who have not yet completed it). Getting feedback is an important way to address what needs improvement and what is working well.

Just a reminder for anyone interested in our mentor program to contact a member of the Learn to Row Committee, or if you’re planning to race, Genevieve Looby, who will also be working with us to match Mentors and Mentees.
