KIM WALLER SHAMELESS PLUG DIVISIOSN STRIKES AGAIN

With this spring heat wave have you been daydreaming about the good ol’ days rowing crew? Or have you always wanted to row, but did not know how to get started? Now is your chance.

Rock ‘n’ Row, also known as the Marblehead Rowing Club, will host its second annual community Open House on Thursday, May 3 at The Landing from 6-8 p.m.

Partially sponsored by the Ipswich Brewing Company, this is the perfect opportunity to come on down, meet club members and learn about the excitement of saltwater recreational rowing, while enjoying R ‘n’ R’s hospitality, not to mention the great food and beverage.

All you need is an interest and a positive attitude to join. R ‘n’ R has the equipment, lessons for beginners and lots of opportunities to row with club members throughout the day.

“Marblehead is fast becoming a haven for saltwater recreational rowing,” said Paul Mazonson, club’s president and co-founder. “We are now entering our sixth season with a strong returning membership, which is a wonderful testimonial to how this sport can change your life.”

R ‘n’ R is expanding this year, so they are reaching out to the community via this Open House.

R ‘n’ R member Thomas Vogel shares his thoughts: “For every former collegiate rower on the club’s roster, there’s a virgin rower joining R ‘n’ R. We are thankful to have Emily Greten as our club coach. She coached for Simmons College, and a number of other clubs. She offers a great Learn To Row Program with an introductory membership fee and lesson package to introduce people to the sport.”

So, whether you have never rowed before or have had some experience on the water, now’s the time to check out the club and the full schedule of activities planned for the 2012 season. Drop by The Landing on Thursday, May 3 for the Open House for more details.
