ORDER NEW AARC ROWING JACKETS
Orders for new AARC rowing jackets are being accepted starting today, February 1st, on the AARC website at http://www.a2crew.com/merch.html#jacket
Based on member feedback, AARC is switching from our previous style jacket to the "Purist Splash Jacket" with a hytrell shell, made by J. L. Racing of California. The jackets will be navy blue and red, similar to the other AARC racing clothing, and will have the AARC logo embroidered on the front, and "Ann Arbor Rowing" in white silk screen lettering on the back. The jackets and sizing information for both men and women can be viewed on the J. L. Racing web site (www.jlracing.com). For the ladies who are unsure of proper sizing, Janet Goldberg (keech@umich.edu) has tried on this new style jacket and might be a helpful reference, and Ron Woodman has J. L. Racing Splash Jackets if you would like to see one. The cost for the new jacket is $116.00* and they are expected to arrive at the boathouse in time for the first row of the upcoming season. Be sure to mark your calendars ... orders must be placed not later than Friday, February 24, 2006. No extra stock jackets will be ordered! Don't miss out!! Order yours today!!! If you were a fan of the previous style jacket, please let Jeff know (jfjones@umich.edu) and we will consider placing an order for those jackets later in the season.
*Please note that this price is predicated on a minimum of 9 jackets ordered. If fewer than 9 orders are placed the jackets will cost approximately $128.00 and a check or cash for the difference in cost will be payable upon order pick-up.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE NEEDED
Are you tech-saavy? AARC is seeking someone to help set up member bulletin boards on the web to improve club communications. If you're familiar with PHP and MYSQL technologies and are willing to donate a few hours to the club to help with this project, please email Margaret (mlhudson@umich.edu). Tasks would include setting up the associated database, installing the software, configuring the templates, and doing other minor customizations such as the adding our logo. It is estimated that this will take about 4-6 hours. Please contact Margaret by Monday Feb 13 at noon if you can help. Thanks!
