Subject: Regatta Parking Fee

Hello,

The Hudson River Rowing Association asks that you inform your membership that as of Friday, May 4th of this year, we will be charging $5 per car for Regatta parking.  The 2012 local races that will be affected are:

§       Saturday    4/21/2012    Scholastic Regatta   6:00 AM  (no parking fee)
§       Sunday    4/22/2012    Scholastic Regatta    6:00 AM   (no parking fee)
§       Tuesday    5/1/2012    Scholastic Regatta    4:00 PM    (no parking fee)

§       Friday - 5/4/2012 -  Scholastic Regatta – Triangular’s   4:00 PM (weather reschedule for the next morning)
§       Saturday - 5/5/2012  -  Scholastic Regatta – Triangular’s   4:00 PM (weather reschedule for the next morning)
§       Saturday - 6/2/2012  -  Scholastic Regatta – HVRL Championships 6:00 AM
§       Saturday  - 6/3/2012 -  Scholastic Regatta - Row for the Cure            6:00 AM

Seasonal (spring) passes will be offered for $15 that can be purchased in advance or at any regatta.

Every dollar collected for parking, less the cost of printing the passes, will be used to pay down the $340,000 mortgage HRRA has for the facility.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but the HRRA board felt this avenue was preferable to possibly raising the rent more than necessary to pay down this debt.

A seasonal pass will be provided, as a refund once purchased, to anyone (as a service donation) for volunteering and working a 2.5 hour parking detail for one regatta event. Please sign up for this volunteer activity by signing up at the web page in the following link in advance

Accommodations for exemption to the parking fee are being made for any tenant Athlete that has a practice on a day when a regatta is scheduled.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Paul Stasaitis
HRRA Board President
