Just hours prior to the High Point Crew Banquet held in mid May, families of the youth rowing program rallied together to raise funds to purchase a much needed set of oars for the team.
In a surprise move, crew parent liaison Mary Horan presented the checks to Coach Gene Kininmonth at the banquet. “This is a sign of genuine appreciation from parents and grand parents for the positive impact this team has had on the lives of our children,” said Mrs. Horan. “We are all grateful to Gene and also Coach Caroline Howard for their service and I am impressed that so many families have chosen to acknowledge their efforts with a gift to the team.”
The following families provided gifts and pledges to the equipment fund for oars:
Matthew & Kristin Lloyd (Emma’s parents)
E. M. Casey (Emma’s grandparent)
Brian & Michelle Kareis (Anna’s parents)
Debra Catto (Sarah’s mom)
Charles & Mary Alt (Adam’s parents)
David & Jacque Haenel (Elizabeth’s parents)
Joyce & Steve Eury (Quinn’s parents)
Barbara & Russell Pollard (Kim’s parents)
Cynthia Komsa (Katharine’s mom)
