To all rowers/parents/friends/past rowers who read this blog, a Very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday to you all! Rowers have the reputation of being dedicated and being leaders. Given the required commitment to training and all that it entails, it is no surprise that it is a sport that sets you up well to deal with all that life throws at you. I ask you this morning, to BE the difference in the lives of those around you, and BE the leaders that you will no doubt turn out to be. If you haven’t done so, go grab a shovel and shovel out your parents driveways/walkways. If that’s been done already, go shovel out your elderly neighbours’ place, or a neighbour who could use a helping hand. A half hour out of your Christmas morning will make a difference in the lives of those around you.

Best Wishes and enjoy the day!
