Hello Everyone!
Thank you to everyone that supported us last night aboard the Cuttyhunk Ferry Fundraiser Trip! There were several people that weren't able to make it and you were missed but not forgotten!
We had 41 people on the boat, and raised a total of $2025 toward rebuilding our boat fleet!! This is great since Tabor Academy is interested in selling us the 2 boats they have loaned us. Pretty soon we'll have to return them and this fundraiser got us much closer to being able to purchase boats. Everyone had a great time and the weather couldn't have been any more perfect. Lots of smiles, many laughs, and a few new friends made. We toured around the harbor, went through the Hurricane Barrier, saw Clarks Cove, Padanarum, and more. It was beautiful!
Additionally, Paul Milde (of Peinert Boat Works in Marion) is well aware of our need for more safety launches. He found a wakeless launch for sale for $5000 and a motor for it would be $3000. This would allow us to fit an entire boat's worth of rowers onto the launch in the event of an accident, which is exactly what we need. Paul was the first to pledge $1000 toward the purchase of this launch!! Jonathan Haisman pledged another $1000, and Anne Eisenmenger pledged $500!! AMAZING!! After the cruise, Calder Reardon and Laurie Bullard both also pledged $500 each!!
I reach out to any of you that may wish to contribute to the purchase of such a launch, and any amount is greatly appreciated. We're currently at $2500 toward the engine and just $500 more to go! Once we purchase the engine, Paul Milde will help us get the launch and we can raise the remaining $4000 over time.
Here are a few pictures of our fun evening and we hope to do this again next year. Huge thanks to Captain Jono and his wife Sue, and ALL of you that make this club possible!!!
