Dear Parents of the Crew:

Welcome to the Trojan Family!
To kick off the Crew Parent Association for the new season, the Crew invite you to witness the ‘launching of the shells’ and an exhibition row at USC Boathouse at 7am on Saturday, October 13, 2007. This event is being held in conjunction with USC Parent’s Weekend.



Directions to USC Boathouse
From USC Campus
Take 110 South.
Exit "C" Street.
Make a RIGHT at the stop sign at "Figueroa".
Make a LEFT on "Harry Bridges".
Make a RIGHT on "Avalon".
Make a LEFT on "Water Street".
Make a RIGHT on "Yacht St".
The boathouse is on the left past the fire station.
Park on street.

On hand will be the Shell & Oar Society, the women’s support group of the team, to serve light breakfast.

Since most students generally do not pick up the sport of rowing until after coming to USC, Parents Day will be a fun opportunity for parents, who know nothing of rowing, to come down and meet each other and see what the sport is all about.

The traditional role of the Parents Association is to support the Crew with purchasing much needed new equipment, but bringing refreshments to races and showing support to your son or daughter is just as important.

Crew Wish List!
Boatshed $50,000
Rowing shell $35,000
Coach Launch $8,000
Set of oars $2,200
Coxswain box $500

All gifts to the USC Crew are fully tax-deductible.

Fight On!
