Fundraising
is
a
necessary
part
of
rowing
and
enables
our
team
to
keep
dues
and
fees
much
lower
than
most
other
rowing
organizations.
The
cost
of
maintaining
boats
and
launches
and
using
the
facilities
of
the
boathouse
and
Argo
Pond
would
not
be
possible
without
the
fundraising
we
do
as
a
team.
The
Parents
Committee Chairs
and Board try
to
run
the
rowing
team
as
if
it
were
a
business.
We
budget
team
money
carefully,
and
are
always
looking
for
fundraising
opportunities.
Huron
Rowing
Association
fundraising
is
one
of
the
most
ambitious
programs
in
the
school.
We
must
all
work
hard
together
to
raise
the
funds
needed
to
support
our
rowing
program.
To
continue
the
level
of
success
we
have
enjoyed,
all
of
us
must
commit
time
and
energy
to
raising
funds.
Full
support
is
needed
at
all
fundraisers.
We
can
only
reach
our
fundraising
goals
through
teamwork!
As
a
result
of
the
Parents’ and
Board's
commitment
to
the
present
and
future
of
the
Huron
Rowing
Association
and
the
sport
of
rowing,
the
following
criteria
have
been
established
over
the
years.
Please
read
the
rules
below
carefully.
See
the
list
on
the
next
page.
-
Each
rower
must
earn
a
total
of
400
points
per
season,
fall
and
spring,
through
various
fundraising
activities.
400
points
will
roughly
equal
$400.00.
Note:
100 points
are
earned
automatically
upon
timely
payment
of
dues
at
the
beginning
of
each
season.
The
number
of
points
then
needed
to
be
“earned”
is
300
per
season.
-
Rowers
who
earn
less
than
400
points
in
a
single
season
must
pay
$1.00
per
point
of
the
point
shortfall
before
participating
in
the
following
season.
A
rower
will
not
be
allowed
to
use
the
Huron
Rowing
Association
equipment
until
prior
season
points
are
paid
in
full.
-
Rowers
earning
in
excess
of
400
points
in
a
single
season
will
have
the
excess
credited
forward
to
the
next
season
of
rowing;
however,
rowers
may
not
make
up
for
a
shortage
of
points
in
the
following
season.
A
points
surplus
does
not
entitle
a
rower
to
waive
season
dues
or
fees.
-
The
fall
season
goes
from
August
1
through
February
28
(or
29).
The
spring
season
goes
from
March
1
through
July
31.
The
Huron
Rowing
Association’s
Fiscal
Year
begins
August
1.
-
Points
earned
will
vary
per
fundraiser.
Please
refer
to
the
list
below
or
call
the
individual
fundraiser
chairperson
for
an
explanation
of
the
point
structure.
-
Families
with
two
or
more
rowers
on
the
team
in
one
season
will
only
have
to
earn
300
points
per
rower
per
season.
Ex:
2
rowers
=
600
points
per
season
per
family.
