First day of HTR's Learn to Row Camp 2022 got off to a great start this afternoon on Cooper River. The intrepid octuplet was safely ferried down to the water by an enthusiastic crew of campers and HTR team members -- who are volunteering a healthy portion of their summer to help introduce the next generation of rowers to sculling. The temperature was high, but that didn't dampen the participants' enthusiasm. Program wraps on Friday.

 HTR Board Member Don Hollingsworth (l) presents $3,400 check to David Rich who won winning the Summer Windfall 50/50 Raffle. We were very happy to finally connect earlier this week with the winner of our Summer Windfall Raffle, David Rich, shown here with HTR Board member Don Hollingsworth (left). Raffle participants do not need to be present at the drawing to win, so when his name was announced at the Haddon Townships Summer Solstice Festival on June 24th, David was enjoying the Jersey shore. Along with the supersized version, the actual check that banks would accept was also presented. The Club is grateful to all who purchased tickets and made this year's Summer Windfall the most successful ever raising a total of $6,800, of which $3,400 belongs to the raffle winner.
