Gainesville Area Rowing hosted an “Invite A Teacher To Row Day” on Saturday, August 29th at Newnan’s Lake in Gainesville. Approximately 10 teachers and their guests attended this event. The event was targeted at area high school teachers to help them learn about our Gainesville Area Rowing Club and how students can benefit from rowing. It was important to tell our guests that our youth rowers learn about the importance of well balanced nutrition as a part of their athletic training at GAR and that many GAR rowers have gone on to row for universities across the country and several have received college scholarships. We also told the group that our 11th Annual Gator Head Regatta will take place in Gainesville, Florida on October 24, 2009. We have invited all the teachers who participated in the August 29th event to join us for the Gator Head Regatta on October 24th as volunteers.

Our next Learn to Row course is scheduled for September 25th – 27th!
