 This morning HT Rowing launched its Fall 2022 Middle School program, sending several quads onto Cooper River. Spirits were high, the weather cooperative and the skill level of participants impressive. Prior rowing experience is not needed to participate, but several of today's rowers are graduates of HTR's Learn to Row summer program who eagerly sought out the chance to be back on the water.
Practice will be held at the BOATHOUSE today from 3:30-5:30 as planned.
 Gerard Banmiller stands in front of HTR's new quad, 'Community' at the boat's naming ceremony in 2018. We remember fondly Gerard Banmiller, a devoted supporter of youth rowing, who was instrumental in a $19,000 donation from 1st Colonial Community Bank that enabled the Club to obtain a much needed, new quad. There was no question about a name for the new boat. 'Community' was the unanimous choice - chosen as a way to honor an extraordinary man as well as the bank he founded for all they have done on behalf of others. A memorial service is being held today for Mr. Banmiller who passed August 17th. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and all who knew and loved him.
 HTR is again offering a fall program for 7th and 8th graders. It's a great opportunity to check out a new sport or build existing skills to prepare for joining the high school team where you'll compete in regattas. No rowing experience is needed. You just need to be able to swim - after all, rowing is a water sport. Program begins September 17th - deadline to register is the 12th. For more details and to register, click HERE or on the Middle School tab above.
Registration is now open for the HTR's fall high school program. The fall season runs from September 10th through November 14th and includes 5 regattas. Any student enrolled at Haddon Township High School is welcome to join the team - prior rowing experience is not required and there are no try-outs but participants must be able to swim. For details and to register click on the High School tab. The team is proud of its history of success on the river, medaling consistently at regional, state and national events.
The club will again offer a fall program for middle school students (7th and 8th graders only). Details will be posted soon.
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.
