Thank you to all of our visiting teams: Bolles, Boone, Jacksonville, Lake Brantley, Lyman, Maclay, Melbourne, OARS, Power Ten, and ROCCS. I hope these teams enjoyed the competition and a beautiful day at Newnans Lake in Gainesville, Florida. We are looking forward to great competition again next year and finding out which team will take home the Gator Head trophy in 2010!

Volunteer
If you are a GAR member or parent, sign up to volunteer at the regatta. The Gator Head will draw in over a thousand rowers and spectators. We need your help to run the event smoothly and safely. There are several ways you can help out on race day. Contact Alice Rankeillor at alicer@gator.net to sign up. GAR Masters, you can sign up to volunteer on the GAR Masters Calendar.

Baked Goods: We would like all GAR families to make 2 dozen of some type of homemade goodies. Ideas can include muffins (I made pumpkin muffins), breads (banana, zucchini)-2 slices per bag, rolls (croissants, cheese), bars (brownies, pecan, oatmeal), cupcakes, and cookies. We will sell them for $2 a piece. Please wrap them individually and make the quantity appropriate for the $2 price tag. Use your best judgment-we’ll adjust if need be. We would prefer you bring them Sat. morning due to limited storage space-either by your rower or you. The goodies can be dropped off Friday with your rower or when you pick them up if that works best for you. We are hoping much of this sells in the breakfast time frame. Again, thank you for all your support of GAR.
