Boat Christening - Sept 10th, 2007

9/11/2007


Our second boat christening took place on September 10th, 2008. However, it was the first time in history that the juniors section of the club ordered and purchased new shells. These new shells represent around $45,000 worth of fundraising and will cost around $60,000 in total. The juniors now have access to 2 new eights, 3 new fours and a quad. The names of the new shells and donors are as follows:

 

Blue Stem (8+)

Gehres Family and Williams Companies

M.C. Rose (8+)

Anonymous through Tulsa Community Foundation

 

H.M.S. Bergenroth (4+)

Mercer Family

Crew Parents 2006 (4+)
