GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK

Even though the season is over and things are quiet around the boathouse, the AARC Board is just getting ready for a new season of hard work. We're beginning the process of learning from the 2005 season and planning for the 2006 season. We have a lot to do between now and next April to ensure a successful 2006 season.

We need help from you! We need your thoughts about how the 2005 season went. Tell us what went well this past year. How did our programs work for you? What was good about the coaching? In what ways did the club's administration work for you? Also, tell us what could be improved. What do we need to work on? What are your ideas for making the club work better?

Email your feedback to Will Mackintosh at wmackintosh@gmail.com by Friday, December 2. It will be distributed anonymously to the rest of the board's planning committees. We look forward to hearing from you!
