Vashon Island Junior Crew has set up with Vashon Island Thriftway to be a part of their 1% for Non-profits program. Thriftway will donate 1% of the dollar amount totaled on receipts turned in to them from participating non-profit organizations. Last spring, we began collecting receipts from both Junior and Master rowers and their families, wth the intent of all proceeds being used for future boat purchases. We encourage you to start saving those receipts now and donate them to crew. Just put your name and phone number on each receipt, and turn it in to the handy jar in the boathouse. A parent volunteer will collect the receipts and turn them in to Thriftway - all we have to do is watch our proceeds grow. Start saving now!

We look forward to offering Learn To Row classes in May. The class will be taught by Coach Lucas Ridinger. The classes will be hel on Saturday 5/23 and 5/30 from 11-1 PM and from 2-4PM. Please contact Vashon Park District to sign up for the class at 206-463-9602 and to learn about fees, etc.

If you would like to speak to a rower about the classes you may contact Amy Gilman at
