News
Gina Lazzari succeeds Lucy Smith as president of SCRC Parent Committee as of January 2010
Lucy Smith has acted as the SCRC Parent Committee President for the past four years. We have been grateful for her commitment. With all that she does for Steel City, we have repeatedly asked at the parent meetings for a volunteer to step up and fill this position so Lucy can focus on other aspects of her work here. Gina has graciously offered to fill this need. I hope that you will all join me in welcoming Gina in this position and offer her your support. Gina has been with Steel City Rowing Club since 2006 as an adult rower. Her daughter began rowing here in fall of 2008. Having been involved with the club for this length of time gives her a good dual perspective on the club and its potential. Thank you Gina!
