2008 Schedule Posted

Please note the 2008 season schedule here.

From Ellen Stuhlmann: The room block reserved for the Visitation parents at the Windsor Suites is now sold out. Almost all hotels in downtown Philly are booked for 5/15 to 5/16. Last night I searched for available rooms and discovered that the Park Hyatt at the Bellevue and the Best Western Independence  Park are not sold out - rooms are available at these properties for $400++.   There are hotels at the airport with vacancies including the Sheraton. If you search Expedia or Hotels.com you will find properties in outlying suburbs.  Next year we will reserve a much larger room block!You do not have to book a room for your daughter; team reservations are already confirmed for rowers.

The Visi Crew hand book is now available for download.

All rowers MUST bring running shoes to every practice. 

Team members need to be prepared for land training in case weather doesn’t permit us to conduct practice on the river.

2005 Christmas Tree Sale

Volunteer Schedule

Rowers & Parents,

Tree delivery is scheduled for Friday Dec 2 at 4pm.  We as many hands as possible to help unload the trucks and set up the terrace.

We need rowers and parents to volunteer for each day--Saturday & Sunday. The rowers will work the 35th Street/driveway intersection to inform people that we're selling trees. Parents can assist with that, too, but are also needed to show, trim and secure trees to roofs.

All rowers are required to volunteer.

The Visitation Crew Boosters will be selling Christmas Trees, beginning on Friday, December 3, from 9am to 9pm. On Saturday and Sunday, December 4 & 5 the trees will be sold from 8 am to 7 pm. Tree sales will continue through the week, beginning December 6, from 3pm to 9pm, as long as supplies last.

We hope to raise over $10,000.00 with this effort, our final fund raising event for the year.

Volunteers Needed!!!   No Experience Necessary.

With this being our final fund raising event of the year, the $uccess of this activity depends on us all.  We need many volunteers to handle a number of tasks.  Rowers as well as parents can assist.  Obviously, certain people will be better than others at carrying trees, handling an electric saw, loading trees onto car roofs, and tying them down securely.  Similarly, others will be well suited to assist with selling, including helping to get customers or handling cashier duties.

On Friday, December 2, from 4:00 - 5 pm, 275+ trees will be delivered to the GV campus.  We need strong and eager workers to assist with setup during this time.  If you are available and willing the help with setup, please contact me.  The terrace area by the dance studio will be the main tree sales area.  We have a plan for organization of the space and will utilize volunteers' time wisely.

Sales will begin on Saturday morning and continue until the last tree is sold.  (If you are planning to buy a real tree this year, we hope you'll buy it here.)  We are looking for full participation in this fun fundraiser.  We need 7 volunteers for each time slot--1 cashier and 6 others.  Please regarding your availability.  THANK YOU to those who signed up at the fall meeting.  The schedule is listed below.

To volunteer please contact Nancy Morrissey.
