Dear Neighbors, Please consider supporting the Allderdice Crew Team! My son Zack is a 9th grader in the Allderdice pre-engineering magnet program and is a member of the crew team. Rowing has been such a wonderful experience for him, physically and emotionally. Crew is a club sport at Allderdice, which means it is not school-sponsored, so we need to fundraise. Rowing is a great opportunity for our city kids to take advantage of what our rivers have to offer, so we'd be happy to talk to any interested students/parents. OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT THE ALLDERDICE CREW TEAM: 1. Make a donation to: OAR (Organization of Allderdice Rowers. I can arrange to pick up your check and provide you with a receipt for your tax records. 2. Local business owners may donate a good or service (a gift certificate, gift basket, etc.) to be auctioned off at our fundraising event in June. This is a great way to publicize a new or small business!! 3. Purchase a ticket to attend our June 2nd fundraising event: WHEN: Saturday, June 2 at 7:30 pm we will be hosting an adults-only Comedy Night called "Laugh Your Oars Off" WHERE: Mullen's Bar, 200 Federal St., on the North Shore across from PNC Park. If you would like to attend, please send me an email and I will get you a ticket. DONATION: $20.00, advanced ticket sales only. There will also be a 50-50 raffle and a silent auction at the event. **This spring, our team will be competing in 2 local races, on April 21 "Pittsburgh Invitational" and May 6 "Scholastic Sprints." If you would like to come watch the races and maybe bring an interested child to meet the team, send me an email & I'll give you the location and race times. Thank you for reading, Jana Finder
