Don't forget to Follow Ridgewood Crew on Facebook/Instagram CALLING ALL PARENTS!! Is anyone with a hitch available to take the Check Wagon to or from the river for this Sunday, April 22nd??? CHUCK WAGON TRANSPORT is extremely important as we need to keep our children fed and hydrated!! There are no concessions available to purchase food even in an emergency! Thanks to Ann Hida who stepped in last Sunday at the last minute!! We are also asking all parents to let us know if you have the capability of towing the chuck wagon (ie. a big enough vehicle that has a hitch)! Please ! if you are able to help with this, please contact: Joe O’Keefe (201-486-6184;

As you all know, many hands make light work. We are hoping we can count on every family to volunteer at least once to help out with the tent. This year we are asking parents to provide as much yummy, homemade food as possible to offer our rowers the best quality and nutritional food. If you have a favorite family recipe, bring it! :) BUS CHAPERONE Bus chaperone is up for grabs on Wednesday and Thursday next week - 25th & 26th. Signup on Instateam or contact Judy Wong at
