Row Around Manhattan 8/1/15

From RMR PR

On August 1st, Village Community Boathouse will be rowing around Manhattan to raise money in support of our community and youth rowing and boatbuilding programs in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. We are a nonprofit organization run entirely by volunteers. While all of our programs are free and open to the public, VCB is 100% volunteer run and dependent on donations and this annual fundraiser to buy equipment, maintain our fleet of traditional wooden boats and to build new boats.
Our goal is to raise $7000. We are asking each rower to raise $100 to participate. If you are an experienced rower, you can sign up and ask your friends and family to sponsor you on a per-mile basis (row is 30 miles long, ask three or four friends for a dollar a mile); if you aren’t experienced or can’t be there, you can help sponsor a rower (We will match you up with a deserving youth rower who needs backing).

Remember, there will be a fun after party with lots of food , drink and good salty company.

COMMUNITY ROWING IN BROOKLYN

From RMR PR

VCB is offering free public rowing in Prospect Park Lake again this summer. The park is surrounded by a large and diverse population that needs more access to on-water recreation.

YOUTH COMMUNITY ROWING

From RMR PR

By far, our largest constituency consists of high school students. A number of the young people who rowed with VCB as high school students have returned after graduating and taken on leadership roles in our youth programming working with both high school and college rowers.

From Sheer Plank On

Right now there are two boats under construction and another in the repair bay at the VCB boat shop on Pier 40. High school and college students as well as interested people from the community work together to build our traditional wooden boats.
