LONGWELL MEMORIAL SATUDAY
An informal memorial for Nereid member Ray Longwell, who passed away April 2, will be held this Saturday, April 23 from 5 to 9 pm at the family's home. Ray's wife, Vana Longwell, invited anyone interested to stop by to say hello and pay respects. The family lives at 58 West 70th Street, Apartment 1, New York City.
In keeping with Ray's wishes, the board of directors intends to make a donation on behalf of the club to ALS Association. Anyone wishing to honor of Ray may contribute online at www.alsa.org or by mailing a check to the ALS Foundation at 27001 Agoura Road, Suite 250, Calabasas Hills, CA, 91301
NEW BRIDGE POLICY
To ensure the safety of all rowers during NJDOT's Route 3 construction project, the Nereid Board of Directors has issued new safety guidelines governing rowing through the Route 3 Bridge and the railroad bridge to its south. As of immediate effect, the following policy applies:
- Learn-to-row and novice rowers are NOT allowed to row through the bridges
- Junior rowers must ALWAYS be accompanied by a coached launch while rowing through the bridges
- Experienced rowers who wish to row through the bridges must request the Captain's permission in writing and sign a waiver acknowledging the risks of rowing under the bridges. For the purposes of this policy, an "experienced rower" is defined as having sufficient skill and safety awareness of the river and a minimum of two seasons' on-water rowing experience
.
Experienced rowers may email their request to Captain Sheila O'Shea at sheila.oshea@comcast.net. Once Sheila has replied in writing, rowers may sign a bridge waiver, available in an envelope on the office door of the club.
As always, Nereid's Captain, Safety Officer and board members reserve the right to suspend rowing anytime river conditions warrant additional safety measures. Please watch for alerts via e-mail and on the Nereid website
