Board Meeting Minutes – Monday, January 5th, 2009

Board Members Present:Helen Fremont (President), Fred Good (Treasurer), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Pete Morelli (Captain), Malyka Ianni
(Secretary), Kate Sullivan (Trustee), Evan Bailey (Trustee), Kevin McDonnell (Trustee)

Members/others Present: Tom Keister, Martha Strom, Bruce Smith, Lynn Osborn, Natalie Dell, Mike Farry, Ed Frankenberry

*Many of the meeting topics fed into one another and overlapped throughout the meeting. The minutes will be written more like a timeline vs. by
topic.

Bruce Smith’s Coaching Proposal: Bruce attended the meeting and proposed that he oversee coaching for the Men’s HPG and the Sculling group.
Bruce would be the Head Coach and have 2 Assistant Coaches. Bruce provided a detailed plan listing his goals, mission, methodology, expectations,
and schedule. He also included a boat schedule, budgets for the coaches, and expected income from members of the HPG program over the course
of the year. An immediate concern that came up was boat space. Bruce responded that he would not need any more club equipment than what is
currently used. He can inquire about getting other boats/demos for little to no cost if needed. Another component of the proposal is the integration of
the U23 Program. This program would be run out of MIT and using the MIT equipment. As far as appearance, the 2009 summer would look like last
year with the exception that Bruce and the 2 Assistant Coaches would also be coaching the Sculling group. The Board expressed to Bruce that
communication between the coaches would crucial. In the end, the Board was very enthused by Bruce’s proposal and embraced the idea.A review
of the budget would have to be done to determine if the Board can allocate the money asked for in the proposal.

Treasurer's Update: 2009 Budget – The overall budget looked good. There were some adjustments to various categories based on the last few years
and the historical trends. The Board agreed with those changes presented by Fred. The next piece of the budget review was the coaching budget and
fitting in Bruce’s Coaching proposal. It was suggested that each coaching budget be increased to $6000. Kevin pointed out that there has not been an
increase to the coaching budget in a long time and that it’s important for the club to show our appreciation to our coaches and offer competitive pay.
The Board contemplated on where to get that money and ultimately agreed on raising membership dues by $25. This includes the following
membership categories:

Provisional/Senior
Supporting
Coxswain
Family
Summer

The increase in membership dues will take place effective this March (2009). All other dues/fees, such as locker and rack, will remain unchanged.

With these changes in place, the Board reevaluated each of the groups that have a designated coaching budget (Sweep Women, Sweep Men,
Sculling, and HPG). The current number of athletes for each group was heavily reviewed. We took into consideration the growth of the HPG and
Bruce’s Coaching proposal. Kevin recalled that when the HPG was initially created it was structured so that it would break even meaning the 12
athletes that comprised the group would pay for the HPG coaching budget. With the growth of the HPG now double (+) the size of 4 years ago, the
Board decided to separate the group and create two HPG budgets (Men and Women).

The Board agreed that the money made available as a result of shifting budget amounts for various categories and increasing membership dues by
$25 would be applied to the overall coaching budget. With the budgeted amount for each coaching group increased to $6000 and the creation of two
HPG groups (vs. one), the overall coaching budget was increased to a total of $30,000.

Recap and formal vote (to make sure everything was covered):

Helen made a motion to approve everything in the 2009 budget as presented by Fred with these amendments:

Increase membership dues by $25
Carve out two separate groups for the HPG in the budget: Women and Men
Increase each of the 5 coaching budgets to $6,000 bringing the total coaching budget to $30,000

All were in favor. Motion passed.

The budget in relation to Bruce’s Coaching proposal – taking into account the new changes to the coaching budget, Bruce would receive a total of
$12,000 for coaching (HPG Men and Sculling). Helen was going to go back to Bruce and inquire if this could work. Provided this is acceptable for
Bruce and all are in agreement, Helen would then draw up a contract.

Key Fob – Mike Farry and Fred have worked out the logistics of getting key fobs put into place for 2009. The total cost is just under $8,000 with
installation and materials. Members will have to pay a one time fee ($25) up front with membership dues this March. The members will be
responsible for them fiscally and have to pay for any replacements. The cost is about $6/key. Access control will be central, and the maintenance of
the computer is similar to what’s found in a company office. Mike Farry and a few other members will be overseeing the maintenance. The plan is
to eventually incorporate the key fobs into Fleetwatch as well.

How do the key fobs work? This will run off a battery back up so that in the event a computer fails the boathouse will still be assessable. Readers
will be on the front door as well as the back door leading to the dock. This also helps to solve another security problem! In the event of an
apocalypse, the rigger bay door will remain as a manual door operated by a metal key. The Board agreed that all Board members and all coaches
will have a key to this door. Aside from membership conveniences and control, in the long run the club will save money with this new key fob
system.

Board Meeting Minutes – Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Board Members Present:Helen Fremont (President), Fred Good (Treasurer), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Pete Morelli (Captain), Malyka Ianni (Secretary),
Kate Sullivan (Trustee), Kevin McDonnell (Trustee)

Members/others Present: Tom Keister, Martha Strom, Alexis Sneff

Treasurer's Update: Fred shared the final P&L statement that was approved at the last Board Meeting. Fred plans to send out invoices over the next few
weeks. He is also looking to have payment options available online for things such as dues, regatta entry fees, etc. This could be in place and ready by
the end of the month.A walk through with the key fob guys will be done on Wednesday to make sure that everything can physically be done and
installed in time for the March meeting.

Alexis – Senior Project: Alexis has a senior graphic design project during her last semester that she would like to combine to also benefit Riverside. The
project would entail streamlining Riverside’s logo and implement consistency throughout Riverside’s “branding” – business cards, fundraisers, any
cards and pamphlets, signs, etc. Another part of the plan is to put together updateable pdfs for things such as races and any functions that the club may
have. These will be amendable per the occasion. The Board liked the idea as there is a lot of use for this talent – website overhaul, 140th anniversary,
outside signage, etc. It will also help pull the identity of the boathouse together.

Captain’s Moment: Pete is in the process of compiling all the rack applications so that the Board can assess and award rack spaces for 2009. Some 
engine maintenance is getting done. He is also going to get a HPG member to coordinate with Brookline and boats on the trailer this spring. 

Demo Day: Brie Berry has been hard at work organizing Demo Day for 2009. Thus far we have a commitment from Concept 2, NK, Dreher, and 
Regatta Sport. The Board proposed June 13th for Demo Day.

Members-Only Fundraiser/Regatta: Since we have decided to not hold Riverside Sprints, Helen has suggested an intramural regatta with all sorts of
races – mixed boats, costumes, whatever! All were keen on this idea and thought it would be fun. The proposed date is Sunday, May 31st.

140th Anniversary: More plans are underway…There will be a booklet, a raffle, etc. One proposed idea was to do a 140th event on the first night of the 
Head of the Kevin 1. It would involve alumni, a huge breakfast, and christening of boats. It will be a 140th HOK extravaganza! The proposed date for 
the HOK1 is Saturday, September 12th. 

Tom Keister’s Billing: The length of Tom’s contract exceeded the budget; therefore, Fred asked for approval to go over the budget by $250. All 
approved. 

Osborn and Cutler Awards: The Board hopes to receive more applicants for these awards this year. The Cutler award was not given last year. All agreed 
that this award is only given to the ideal person and that this award will coincide with the rack awards. An email will be sent out with details on the 
Osborn and Cutler awards soon. 

Donation to Vesper: Todd Craun was a very prominent figure and coach at Vesper and in the Philly rowing community who recently passed away. All
were in favor of sending a donation in his memory.

Board Meeting Minutes – Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

Board Members Present:Helen Fremont (President), Fred Good (Treasurer), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Pete Morelli (Captain), Malyka Ianni
(Secretary), Kevin McDonnell (Trustee), Evan Bailey (Trustee)

Members/others Present: Ed Ballo, Joel Skaliotis, Martha Strom

Treasurer's Update: Fred asked the Board for approval of the financials. A motion was made and all approved.

Nik’s Proposal: Nikolai Kurmakov has proposed a 5 day sculling clinic for ages 13 to 18 from June 22-26, 9am to 4pm. This clinic would be totally
independent of Simmons. There would be approximately 15-18 rowers, and the cost would be about $500 per rower. This would be split 50/50 with
RBC and Nik plus volunteers after expenses are all paid off the time (i.e. advertising, lunches, etc.). Volunteers would be paid. Advertising would be
done on Row2k. Nik could provide a double and then make arrangements with other coaches for equipment. Nik volunteered to repair any potential
mishaps to equipment during the camp as well as any current minor club boat damages. Board concern was liability but waivers would be signed.

Rack Applications and Awards: The Board held their annual rack discussion and ranked the many deserving candidates. A new rack chart will be
posted.

Board Meeting Minutes – Monday, April 6th, 2009

Board Members Present:Helen Fremont (President), Fred Good (Treasurer), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Pete Morelli (Captain), Malyka Ianni
(Secretary), Kevin McDonnell (Trustee), Kate Sullivan (Trustee)

Members/others Present: Dick Garver, Joel Skaliotis, Mary O’Neil

Treasurer's Update: No update.

Club Awards: The award plaques need to be brought up to date with name engraving. Kevin was going to look into this after Crusher Casey.

Clutter Control: The clutter has gotten a bit out of control. Personal responsibility is lacking! This is being addressed by Helen, Buildings and
Grounds, and a few other members.

Crusher Casey: The date was set for Sunday, April 19th, 2009.

RBC Sculling Clinic Update: Sculling clinic with Nik Kurmakov – The ad is to go up on Row2k and signs have been posted around RBC. Please
contact Nik directly with any questions.

RBC Website: Did not discuss. Alexis Sneff was unable to attend the meeting.

Boston Sports Museum: Dick Garver and the Curator at the Boston Sports Museum discussed a rowing display. It could be done in conjunction with
the RBC 140th Anniversary. The notion of what the display could be is totally open. The Board is very interested is moving forward with this idea.
Kate Sullivan and Dick are going to further pursue this. Dick is also going to update the RBC History book for 2008.

Brookline/Simmons Sign: The idea is to get a sign that accurately portrays what goes on at RBC. We want to educate people on what type of club
RBC is and what we are all about. Kate put together potential sign wording for Board review and input. How to design the sign is the next question.
More details to follow.

Brookline/Junior Rowing: Joel Skaliotis made two proposals.

Fall rowing for Brookline HS – this would be limited to Varsity girls and boys– 40 rowers total. They would row 4 days a week and
Saturday afternoons. This would help Brookline to be more competitive with other schools. While the Board did acknowledge some
benefits to RBC, there were too many concerns to accept the proposal as it stands.
Juniors Camp – Joel is interested in running two 1 week camps for junior girls this July. It would be open enrollment and advertised
throughout the high schools in the area. The cost for the week would be approximately $400. One week would be for novices and the next
for varsity. The schedule would be modeled like spring training. Hours from 9:30am to 3:30pm, Monday-Friday. Only Brookline
equipment would be used. The only need would be rack space, and RBC would receive a portion of the profit. We asked Joel to send a
written proposal. All were very positive about this proposal and in favor.

Board Meeting Minutes – Monday, May 4th, 2009

Board Members Present:Helen Fremont (President), Fred Good (Treasurer), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Malyka Ianni (Secretary), Kevin McDonnell
(Trustee), Kate Sullivan (Trustee), Evan Bailey (Trustee)

Members/others Present: Nik Daniloff, John Yasitis

Treasurer's Update: Fred has been taking care of a few administrative tasks and had nothing financial to report.We have had a water leak issue
with the toilets which required about 1k worth of repair. We were notified by the water department of an unusually high water bill. Buildings and
Grounds needs to be a little more vigilant. Fred also provided a “transaction list by customer” history. A very small numbers makes up the majority
of the donations. Members need to know what we really appreciate any donation even if it is only ten dollars!

Committee Updates:

·Regatta Committee - John Yasitis provided an update on two upcoming regattas: Cromwell Cup and our in house regatta “Fund-Racier” (as
cleverly named by Evan). The Cromwell Cup regatta is scheduled for Sunday, July 12, 2009. Permit requests are in, this year’s committee
members have been established, and planning is going as scheduled. The same race format as last year will be used.

·Membership Committee – Igor has lots of new members coming in! Fred and Igor have been working to digitize most everything. The key fob
system is working great. Emails will be sent out to members with past due balances. Everyone needs to get paid up.

Outside Singles: Nik Daniloff mows our grass and was checking up on the status of the singles on the lawn. Brookline and Simmons will be gone
by the end of May and this should no longer be an issue.

Sign Language: Kate Sullivan spoke with Richard Scott from the DCR. He’s the first step to getting sign approval. Kate provided a few ideas -
pictures and wording - for a stand up sign. It is possible to get a graffiti resistant sign. The sign could also list things like pool hours, the running
loop mileage, etc. Nik Kumakov (Simmons) loved the idea. There hasn’t been any feedback from Joel Skaliotis (Brookline) yet. An additional note
– Richard mentioned he is willing to do another flip clinic.

Sydney Boat Club: Bruce Smith received an email of interest to cultivate a relationship with Sydney Rowing Club (SRC). They have a lightweight
men’s development program. All agreed that having “sister clubs” is important. SRC is interested in coming to the HOCR this year. We need to
define what a sister relationship means. Helen is going to negotiate the terms of our relationship.

Tom Kesiter’s email: Tom sent an email in regard to dumping everything in the hallway and the bulletin board. The board discussed and is going to
take more initiative to help with enforcing clean up.

Board Meeting Minutes – Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Board Members Present:Helen Fremont (President), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Malyka Ianni (Secretary), Kevin McDonnell (Trustee), Kate Sullivan
(Trustee), Evan Bailey (Trustee)

Absent Board Members: Fred Good (Treasurer), Pete Morelli (Captain)

Members/others Present: Joel Skaliotis

Treasurer's Update: Fred was unable to attend the meeting but provided an email update noting all is in order at the moment.

VP Update: Igor – new members are coming in as the summer sweep programs get underway.

Fall Junior Program: Joel Skaliotis proposed a Fall Junior Program to the Board. He thought about what happens in the spring and tried to go
through and remove the impact the program would have on RBC. In the fall, the group would not go to any away races so there would be no need
for the trailer. The size of the group would be dramatically reduced and only an option for experienced/Varsity rowers. Personal items/gym bags
would be kept in cars. There would be no presence inside the building and no use of RBC launches. There would be a few benefits to the club. It
would bring equipment to the club for a reduced price during a busy time (Head of the Charles), additional income, and optimally create good will
between RBC and Brookline. After discussion, we asked Joel to put something in writing. The terms need to be very clear and thoroughly covered.
More discussion to follow…

Trailer Fee: A trailer tax was discussed because we currently have no trailer replacement fund. In the event that the trailer would need to be
replaced and/or repaired, the budget would take a hit. As a means of building a future fund for repairs and purchases, we discussed charging a tax
for trailer use to each regatta. All were in agreement with adding a $5 fee per person per regatta for trailer use, with the exception of a $10 fee per
person for Canadian Henley. This is effective immediately.

Captain’s Rules: In light of the multiple incidents yielding significant boat damages over the last year, there will be new qualifications for bowing
4 man boats and new ramifications for any further boat damages. See the attached for the new rules. The rules have also been posted on the board
above Fleetwatch. More details on the implementation of these new rules are to follow.

Private Parties: As a trial, we agreed to host a 60th surprise birthday party on Sunday, June 7th. RBC is getting a fee in return for renting the
space; a membership to RBC is also being given as a birthday present. All of the logistics have been covered. Ernest Cook volunteered to be
present during the celebration.

Women’s Locker Room: The women’s locker room rules were agreed upon. The rules go into effect on July 1st. They have been posted on the
board directly inside the locker room door.

Weekend Use of Club Boats: Pete received a few inquires about potentially using club boats at designated times on Saturday and Sunday evening.
The Board response was unanimous: No! It’s the most dangerous and busy time with all of the boaters.

Board Meeting Minutes – Monday, July 6th, 2009

Board Members Present:Helen Fremont (President), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Fred Good (Treasurer), Malyka Ianni (Secretary), Kate Sullivan
(Trustee), Evan Bailey (Trustee)

Absent Board Members: Kevin McDonnell (Trustee), Pete Morelli (Captain)

Members/Others Present: Amelia Booth, Sarah Potts, Sarah Schwegman, Alexis Sneff, Joel Skaliotis

Treasurer's Update: USRowing has sent a small token of thanks to RBC for running the lightweight camp. Fifteen percent will go to the RBC
fund and the remainder to Bruce Smith. Fred has seen a shift in the membership. We have lots of summer members this year and other full time
members have moved to supporting. Equipment update - no boats have been sold yet.

RBC Fall Junior Women’s Program: Helen provided a draft proposal to the Board for discussion. We agreed on a program fee per person ($275/
person, $137.50 to initiation/membership fee). The program is limited to three afternoons per week from 2:30 – 5:30pm. The program will consist
of 18 experienced female junior rowers (two eights) and will require no use of the workout room or locker rooms. The program is open to any
experienced rowers in the community with 50% of the seats reserved for Varsity or experienced Brookline High School students, in exchange for
receiving deeply discounted use of Brookline's two eights for the club's use for the two months.The program would be coached by Joel Skaliotis,
and it would be a "test" program for this fall, only. We agreed that a meeting should be set up for the RBC membership to attend to ask questions
and address concerns. We agreed on Tuesday, July 14th at 7:00pm. We will wait to vote on the proposal until after the meeting.

Cromwell Cup Update: There are tons of entries for the upcoming regatta. We have 18 trailers coming! We will be moving the RBC and
Simmons trailer to CRI for the day of the regatta. The DCR permit issue was resolved. Per Amelia, more food for the food stand is needed.

Semi-Formal End of the Summer Cocktail: Amelia would like to hold the End of the Summer Cocktail party this year as we did in 2008 and asked
for $350 for the event. Helen made a motion, Evan second, all were in favor. Amelia will name the weekend soon. It will either be August 15th or
August 22nd.

Six Flags: Amelia wanted to gauge interest in a RBC outing to Six Flags. There would be a group discount and people could carpool.Board
thought it was a good idea…

140th Anniversary: The social committee is trying to finalize a place to hold the kick off 140th Anniversary cocktail. The date is the weekend of
the HOK 1, Saturday, September 12th, 2009. HOK 1 will be held that morning. A tent and floor (Head of the Charles style) was suggested. After
more research, Amelia will report back. It’s important to get the location confirmed ASAP. If anyone has any suggestions and/or leads on a good
place/deal to hold the event, please feel free to contact Amelia.

Simmons Stillwater: Nik would like to get another launch. We need clarification if this would replace the flatbed launches. It was also noted that
Brookline also has an outstanding launch proposal. Launch parking is an issue as too much weight attached to the dock is not good for the
architectural structure. More discussion on this topic will happen later…

CBC Centennial Race: Kevin McDonnell has been working to get lineups in place for the event. The average age of the group has to be 45. The
Centennial race will be happening on Saturday, July 25th.

Piercing the Corporate Veil: Alexis and Amelia proposed a small “Learn to Row” program for a local Cambridge company. With Amelia and
Alexis coaching and organizing the event, the Board was comfortable with the proposal. The first session would be held at the MIT tanks and held
during lunch hours (11:30 am – 1pm, approximately). There would be very little impact to the membership as far as boathouse space is
concerned. The program will be eight sessions total, consisting of two a week (Tuesday and Thursday). The use of one eight is required and
equipment will be coordinated with the necessary groups. Helen is going to type up a waiver. In 2008 the Board had approved a similar type
program and is very comfortable with the concept. With logistics worked out, all the Board members agreed that the program can be held.

Reminder to Coaches: Summer athletes and coxswains must abide to the river rules. They are to be with a coach at all times. People going
through wrong arches will not be tolerated. Failure to follow the (safety) rules may result in bad juju and wrath from the Captain (and other Board
members).

Board Meeting Minutes – Monday, August 17th, 2009

Board Members Present:Helen Fremont (President), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Fred Good (Treasurer), Malyka Ianni (Secretary), Kate Sullivan (Trustee),
Evan Bailey (Trustee), Pete Morelli (Captain)

Absent Board Members: Kevin McDonnell (Trustee)

Members/Others Present: Tom Keister, Tom Rose, Cindy Larsen, Mary O’Neil, Rob White, Jim Ames, Tim Villabona, Paige Fader-Divoll

Treasurer's Update: Fred provided a budget, membership and Cromwell Cup update. Overall the budget is on track, and we should be OK for the year.
Cromwell Cup was very profitable again this year. We are in a good place with members brought into the club. Also to note on the budget, we bought a
new Resolute 8+.

Club Equipment: There is concern about the overall integrity and care of the club boats and equipment. We need to label our boat “stuff” (seats, riggers,
etc.) so that it is easier to keep track of. Members also need to stay away from the work bay; there needs to be better enforcement about not dumping
stuff in that area. Hiring a rigger is being contemplated. An updated equipment schedule for buying new boats vs. refurbishing some boats is being
worked out.Replacing each club boat every 5 years is unsustainable at current/projected boat prices and RBC's budget.

2009 Worlds Fundraiser – RBC Athletes: A number of RBC athletes were named to the 2009 US Rowing squad that is to compete at Worlds in August.
A fundraiser is being organized for September 8th during the next quarterly membership meeting. We need to collect prizes for the raffle!

**If anyone has any prizes that can be raffled off, please email me. Thanks.

140th Anniversary: It was proposed that we have the 140th celebration (the kick off to the 150th) the weekend of the Head of the Charles since it’s
likely to draw more RBC alums. We will advertise on Row2k, Twitter and Facebook. This event is geared toward reconnecting with former and inactive
members, including those not racing. The plan is to host events and welcome alums back to RBC over the weekend. People will be able to purchase a
ticket with all funds going to the Anniversary campaign. These funds are to directly help with future RBC projects/renovations. We are looking into a
place (either inside the boathouse or in a tent outside for better regatta viewing and food). Potentially on Saturday night there will be a river boat cruise
as we are able to get a very reasonable price. There will be credentials given out to ticket holders. Once more concrete details are known, it will be
passed along to the membership.Anyone interested in helping with the 140th, please contact Amelia or Kate.

Stillwater Proposal - Nik: Architect Cindy Larson worked with structural engineer Fred Cowan and determined that the additional Stillwater would not
pose a significant impact if correctly placed.Details about sharing of a Simmons Stillwater during peak season was offered by Simmons.

Civil Engineering Proposal: Limitations and needs of the RBC facility, including outside boat racks were discussed along with a proposal to hold a
meeting to solicit ideas from the membership on how to accommodate those needs.Kate, Cindy Larson and Tom Rose are working to together to
develop an agenda for a special membership meeting.Cindy and Tom have already completed measured drawings of the boathouse (none currently
exist due to a flood in the office where they were held) and have had some preliminary discussions with experienced engineering firms on a price for a
site survey, necessary for any significant improvement project or renovation.The end result would be short, medium and long term plans for the
boathouse that would meet the security, aesthetic and operational needs of the club.

Board Meeting Minutes – Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Board Members Present: Helen Fremont (President), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Fred Good (Treasurer), Malyka Ianni (Secretary), Kate Sullivan
(Trustee), Kevin McDonnell (Trustee)

Board Members Absent: Pete Morelli (Captain), Evan Bailey (Trustee)

Members/Others Present: Nick Daniloff, Amelia Booth, Stef Sydlik

Treasurer's Update: Fred provided an analysis of the 2009 income as we are nearly done collecting additional revenue for the year. He also
provided detail on the 2009 unbudgeted program results. We will end the year on a positive note. Details for the 2010 budget will be
discussed at the next meeting.

Social Committee:

Holiday Party: The date is set for Saturday, December 5th. Fred approved the request for money. The social committee came up with some
ideas to make this more family friendly. At 6:00 pm there will be cookie decorating! We will also have food catered by 21 Nickels. Details
will be sent out by Amelia Booth.

Crash B’s Party: Amelia Booth and the committee would like to host a party after Crash B’s since Monday, February 15th is a holiday.
Amelia has been speaking with our contact at Ned Devine’s who also manages MJ O’Connors in Park Plaza. They are willing to give us a
similar deal to the Head of the Charles party. Amelia is going to look at the space this week. Other ideas are also being explored.

Service Awards: The board needs to select the recipients of the 2009 service awards.

Funding Guidelines for Worlds: This vote will take place at the next meeting.

Power Lunch – Read to Children program: Kevin McDonnell suggested we consider the Power Lunch Program as an organization. The
Power Lunch Program consists of a group of volunteers who go into local schools during their lunch breaks to read one-on-one with students.
The idea is that any Riverside members who would like to participate could volunteer. However, the program cost for one person is $300. The
board indicated that costs could be covered for 1 or 2 participants but that we can also ask membership to donate money to cover costs for
other members to volunteer. This could be a great bridge builder between Riverside and the Cambridge community. Kevin will be posting
flyers around the boathouse and will send out an announcement with information by email. If anyone is interested in volunteering or donating,
please contact Kevin (kevin.mcdonnell1@comcast.net).

Online Coaching Evaluation Forms: Kevin McDonnell suggested that a coaching evaluation form be put on the website. The evaluations
would be anonymous to the coaches. This would better help the board collect and manage feedback from members on our coaches and guide
the board when making coaching related decisions.

Board Meeting Minutes – Tuesday, September 9th, 2009

Board Members Present: Helen Fremont (President), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Fred Good (Treasurer), Malyka Ianni (Secretary), Kate Sullivan
(Trustee), Evan Bailey (Trustee), Pete Morelli (Captain)

Members/Others Present: Nick Daniloff

Treasurer's Update: Fred provided a summary of the Worlds donations to date. This led to discussion about Worlds Fundraising - where it stems from
(should be HPG driven/organized) and distribution guidelines. Igor is going to put together a proposal. Fred is working with Ernest Cook on trailer fees
and reserves and tracking who is racing in which boats to determine who owes what. We also recently had to purchase a new hot water heater. We
bought a commercial-heavy duty hot water heater and should get ten plus years out of it.

Boat Vandalism: Two boats were vandalized by an unknown man in late August. A summer member at RBC saw the incident occur and called the
police. The Board realizes the need to protect outside equipment and boats. This is going to be addressed in the meeting with the membership on
September 19th (see below).

Board Proposal Meeting (set date): Kate Sullivan has set the date for the brainstorming meeting to take place on Saturday, September 19th from 9am-
Noon just following the Head of the Kevin II. The purpose of the meeting is to hear from the membership and give the board ideas and direction on and
priority of issues and on whether we should pursue developing plans for accommodating the outside boats, upgrade of dock system and a long term
maintenance/renovation program for the building.It is expected that this will be the first in a series of meetings that will bring plans as they progress,
including anticipated costs and funding strategies, back to the membership.

Miscellaneous: HOCR draw is up. RBC gets one entry of choice. The Board is in favor of the Sr. Masters 4+ (men). We also need to pick names for
the 4 new boats (Sykes 2x, Resolute 8+ and 2 pinerts).

Board Meeting Minutes – Monday, October 5th, 2009

Board Members Present:Helen Fremont (President), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Fred Good (Treasurer), Malyka Ianni (Secretary), Kate Sullivan
(Trustee), Evan Bailey (Trustee), Kevin McDonnell (Trustee), Pete Morelli (Captain)

Members/Others Present: Paige Fader-Divoll, Mike Farry

Treasurer's Update: Fred provided an update on boat rentals for the HOCR. We expect to raise a fair amount of money from equipment and boats
rentals. Worlds Fundraising totals are in and funds have been distributed. Just as a heads up, the 140th will require up front funds which will be paid
back.

140th Anniversary: There will be a reception on Saturday and Sunday of the Head of the Charles weekend. The goal is to reconnect with RBC alumni
and capture contact information. There will be a cruise on Saturday night following the boat dedication. There will be desert and a cash bar on the
boat. Tickets will be $40 which includes entry to the HOC party at Ned Devines.

Boathouse Security: Mike Farry, who oversees the Security Committee, reported on the most recent break-in incidents in the RBC parking lot. There
were two break-ins in just one week alone. State Police have been temporarily staking out in the parking lot but this will not permanently keep away
the thief. The committee met on Sunday and discussed some ideas to improve the safety in the parking lot. Ideas: 1. Lights – for personal safety and to
decrease and deter crime. 2. – Installing “fake” security cameras. The Board liked the idea of lights as well as the fake camera. Mike is going to speak
with the State police to see what we can do.

Board Nominations: An email needs to be sent out about 2010 Board Nominations. The nomination forms also need to be posted at the boathouse.

Board Meeting Minutes – Monday, December 7th, 2009

Board Members Present: Helen Fremont (President), Fred Good (Treasurer), Igor Belakovskiy (VP), Paige Fader-Divoll (Captain), Malyka
Ianni (Secretary), Kate Sullivan (Trustee), Evan Bailey (Trustee), Amelia Booth (Trustee)

Members/others Present: Margo Rowley, Ed Ballo, Pete Morelli, Cindy Larson

Treasurer's Update: The first order of business was the Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors. Malyka Ianni made a motion to allow
Fred Good and Helen Fremont to make decisions on behalf of Riverside Boat Club regarding financial and legal affairs and recognized
Braver pc of Newton Massachusetts as accountant and advisors to Riverside. The motion was seconded and all were in favor.

Fred Good provided a wrap up of the 2009 actual versus budgeted budget and broke out some of the committees to give some insight.
Overall, it was a good year. A draft of the 2010 budget was provided in preparation for the January board meeting.

Fred expects three new Filippi boats to be delivered in mid February – a 70k double/pair, 80k double/pair, and 80k quad/four. All
have aluminum wing riggers and are convertible. After the purchase of the Filippi boats and the new Resolute 8+ in the fall, we spent
approximately 90k on boats with some left over in the reserves. We will also be buying four new “green” ergs at CRASH B’s. (“Green”
meaning they recharge themselves when you erg!)

Floor Re-do – Ed Ballo: During Ed’s time overseeing the work parties, he has fielded numerous inquiries about redoing the workout room
floor. Ed proactively sought out information on costs and options to redo the floor to present to the board. A gentleman came and measured
the floors and gave two estimates: 1. sand and polyurethane (3 coats) – approx $6,250, and 2. sand, polyurethane, and stain – approx $8,750.
Ed is willing to head up the pre-cleaning and take care of all of the indoor logistics but would like someone else to do the project
management part. The board liked the idea and asked Ed to go back and get some more answers about how long it would take as this project
would have to take place in the summer at a time when the boathouse is virtually empty (Canadian Henley/August). We also asked that Ed
get more quotes. There will be a follow up at the next meeting.

New (Additional) Indoor 1x Racks – Margo Rowley: Margo presented the board with a plan that allows us to add more indoor rack spaces in
the main Fleetwatch/1x club boat bay. There would be a net of five 1x spaces added. Margo did a chalk outline of how the changes would
look. The next step would be to switch out the fours to the eights bay with the doubles/pairs that currently occupy those racks to get a sense
of how the space would work. We would distribute club (1x) boats across the three bottom racks (two on each bottom) to ensure that people
are not going to knock around and damage club and private boats. The private oars would have to be moved/shifted. Margo was going to
collaborate with Buildings and Grounds on this. Materials would cost approximately $350. The Board was in favor of the proposal with
Equipment Committee, B&G and Captain input prior to action.

Updates:

Power Lunch – Read to Children program: Kevin McDonnell has raised enough funds and volunteers to read to children at lunch. Thank
you to those who have been involved.

Annual Appeal Letter: The Annual Appeal letter was sent out. Thank you to Kit Casey for her work on putting together the card and to
everyone who stuffed envelopes!

Crash B’s Party: Amelia was able to get free ad space for the RBC – Crash B’s party. The space at MJ O’Connors has been reserved and
is scheduled for 8pm to midnight of February 14th. It will be $5 to enter and there is only a capacity of 200 people.

Equipment Committee – Captain Paige: As Captain, Paige would like to better assist and support the equipment committee and enhance
some processes. She would also like to improve communication between the committee and the membership and help the membership to be
more aware of how the rotation (purchasing and selling) of club boats works. Also, look for an equipment announcement board to be put in
place with news, rules, etc. in the near future. This board will serve as an output for what’s going on and help the membership stay
informed. Paige has also spoken with Mary O’Neill about clearly establishing who owns oars. Look for details on the oar project in the
upcoming future.

RBC Road Race aka “Head of the Road Race”: Kate and Amelia have been planning a fundraiser for RBC. The Head of the Road Race will
run the Head of the Charles course. Like the HOCR, there will be categories – singles, doubles, fours, and eights. All eights must run with a
cox! We would reach out to colleges and local running clubs. The idea is to connect more with the community and help people learn more
about rowing. The tentative date is December 4th, 2010.
