PHOtography Help

Liam has implemented a club photographer list! If you're interested in photographing any of our meets or social events, mark yourself down in this sheet; this'll help Liam keep track of and reach out to people who might be able to photograph if he's busy or racing . It's a great way to gain some sports photography experience, help contribute to promoting the club via social media and document the memories we make at each meet. Feel free to DM Liam if you have any questions.

 

THE SHELL

UW athletics has finally allowed us to access the shell one to two times a week. Unfortunately, the only time we are able to access the shell is from 10:15pm-12:15am... but it's better than no shell at all. The sprints/field will have practices there each week, and distance runners are always welcome to join and do workout of their own. Check the #general chat each weekend for a message from Tommy that will entail which days we have access to the shell.

WEEKLY VOLunTEERING UPDATE

We're starting the RecWell food drive starting on Monday and we have another Ainsley's Angels race coming up on the 16th for the month! Get out into the community and volunteer with WTC! Volunteering is a great way to help out the club and it's outreach to the community!
