City Hall

Bruce Smith and I waiting for our very productive meeting at the Mayor's Office today. Unfortunately the Mayor wasn't actually there, although Bill Burns (as close to the Mayor as you can get) was present, along with Matt Morrissey, Angela Johnston, and Derek Santos from the Economic Development Council. We missed the Harbor Master, Kristin Decas today as well.

The meeting went very well and we covered a lot of important details. We have our September Event moving along nicely and there is talk of having it at the Coalition for Buzzard's Bay in downtown New Bedford. Details are still being worked on, but you can rest assured that we will put on a spectacular event.

Also on the agenda for our meeting was the New Bedford Popes Island Regatta slated for October 9th, just 2 weeks before the historic Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston. Our race will incorporate a very tough turn, perfect for a practice run for the Charles course. We may not have 5 bridges to pass through, but will 2 suffice?

So far we're keeping very busy planning some exciting things for the next several months. You definitely will want to be a part of them!! If you want to get involved with any of our events, just let us know! You can call 508.717.4013 or email me at carolyn@communityrowing.org.
