For your information here are two dates that many might be interested in: Saturday, January 27th Tennessee Indoor Rowing Championships (Maclellan Gym) Saturday, February 24th UTC Rowing Fundraiser Luncheon at OUTBACK Steakhouse @ Hamilton Place and Silent Auction The Tennessee Indoor Rowing Championships are free to enter for all UTC Students, Faculty and Staff. We have events for Masters, Veterans, and for those who have "Never-Ever" rowed before. You can register the day of the event, but it is best to register by Monday, Jan 22nd to insure that you have a lane assignment. There is even a 500 meter (1/4 the distance the rowers go) for parents of rowers. So, if you have a child at GPS, McCallie, Baylor, Chattanooga Juniors or UTC, you can help the rowing team out by entering the parents event at 12:45 pm. And there is an event for the youngsters, a 4 minute row, so they all start and stop at the same time. And each child gets a shirt if they have a parent who is registered to row in the competition (free shirt for the kids). Plus, BIG BLUE M&M will be there to hand out treats from 12 noon to 1 pm. The Outback Steakhouse at Hamilton Place UTC Rowing Fundraiser Luncheon will be on Saturday, February 24th. Tickets will be $12 per person, for ages 10 and older (we can work something out for the families with young children). This is an all-you-can-eat buffet of steak, chicken, mashed potatoes, french fries, salad, dessert and drink. The time will be from 11:30 am to 1 pm. Contact Robert Espeseth (-5333) for tickets (which will be available starting late next week). You do need a ticket to get in, so once we sell out, we are done. The Silent Auction final bids will be on Saturday, 2/24 at the Outback Steakhouse at Hamilton Place as well. The bidding will close at 12:30 pm, however, you will be able to make bids on-line starting February 15th. I will send out a list of all items available for bidding on Thursday, 2/15. Please make all checks payable to "UTC Rowing". We cannot take credit cards.
