Greetings Strokes Families:=20

Ergathon:  Many thanks to all the athletes and parents who helped make =
the Ergathon on Saturday a great success.  Check out photos from the =
event posted on the Strokes website at  <http://www.oaklandstrokes.org/> =
www.oaklandstrokes.org.    Particular thanks go to  Bill Fehr, Evan =
Young, Catherine Bierwith, Jim Mittelberger, Susan Ito, Tamara Ramos, =
Tom Fitzgerald, Krammie Kwan, Sally Oto, Kellan Turner, Beth Veit and =
Mary Jaccodine.  Additional special recognition to Catherine Bierwith =
for donating the prizes and building the apparel locker.   =20

Spring Registration and Calendar:   The updated Spring calendar is now =
posted on the website.   =
<http://www.oaklandstrokes.org/TeamInfo.php?ics=3Dc2> =
http://www.oaklandstrokes.org/TeamInfo.php?ics=3Dc2    Please take a =
look for important dates, including the first day of Spring practice:  =
Monday January 5 for MV, MN and WN; Wednesday January 7 for WV. =20
=20
Please register your athlete by December 19 on  =
<http://www.bluesombrero.com/oaklandstrokes> =
www.bluesombrero.com/oaklandstrokes.      We've extended the =
registration by a few days to accommodate everyone.  Please follow the =
instructions on the website.  It takes about 5 minutes.  Due to very =
extensive work load it creates for our all-volunteer parent registration =
team, we are only accepting credit card payment.  No checks. =20
=20
Mandatory Spring Parent Meeting:   Join us Saturday February 7 from 3-5 =
p.m. at JLAC for the mandatory spring racing season kick-off meeting for =
parents.   Learn about what is sure to be an exciting spring racing =
season, travel plans, expectations for your rowers, pasta feeds.  =
Another opportunity to purchase cool Strokes apparel and gear. =20
=20
Publicity:  We are looking for more parents (or rowers for that matter) =
who would like to help publicize our spring events.  In particular, we =
think Battle of the Bay (Strokes, Marin and Los Gatos) on March 7 would =
be a good opportunity to try to get some media attention.   Volunteers =
should contact Publicity Coordinator Irene Gessling at =
irene.gessling@comcast.net. =20
=20
Wishing you a happy and safe holiday,=20
