Parent Information

Volunteers Needed!

Please see the message below from Matt Taylor who is our PSRA liaison and contact him directly:

Dear Parents of Shipley Rowers,

The PSRA (Philadelphia Scholastic Rowing Association) is the group that organizes the Manny-Flick races, as well as the City Champs regatta.  Shipley is fortunate to be one of the permanent member schools.  This position not only gives us voting rights for issues of the PSRA but also provides for our key spot on the riverbank and our annual allotment of parking passes.

In order to maintain our permanent PSRA status, we are asked to co-host at least one event each year.  With our truncated season this spring, we jumped on the opportunity to volunteer to "work the docks" for the final Flick of the season, Flick #5 (April  13th).

We are looking for 6-8 parent volunteers to help throughout the day.  Ideally, 3-4 parents of daughters in the AM and boys in the afternoon (to align with the rowing schedules).  Working the docks (these are the docks by St.Joe) provides for an action-packed shift.  We will be helping to control the traffic flow of boats too and from the ramps or helping to recover boats coming back to the dock...no experience necessary.

 Please respond to this e-mail with a preferred time, if you would like to help.  Let me know if you have any question.

 Regards,

 Matt
