Great News!

When it rains it really pours, so they say. Not only have we gotten great news about Andrew and his future in rowing, but the adults had an amazing practice this morning and we somehow managed to be on the water during the only break in the fog. But also, I got a call today from Michelle Murray who has read about NBCR in the paper (thanks Standard-Times!) and wants to become a supporter! She's a member of a book club and every time the club meets, they put money in a hat. When they get a substantial amount of money, they donate it to a local charity. Not only have they chosen NBCR, but they contacted the Women's Fund (who has given us a $5000 grant for girls programming!) and the Women's Fund will match Michelle's donation!! This is fantastic news as there are several girls on the team that could use a scholarship. Many are on scholarship already but there are others that are either having a tough time making payments or the scholarship isn't enough. So this will be great news for our rowers!!! Thank you Michelle, the book club, and the Women's Fund!!
