WS Crew Booster Club, Committees, & Volunteers

All crew parents automatically become members of the West Springfield Crew Booster Club (WSCBC). The parents are a vital support group for the WS rowing program; providing financial assistance necessary to keep our team on the water by collecting dues and helping to organize fundraisers.

In addition to fundraising, the parents support the team in many volunteer capacities. Volunteers fill many of the roles required to run regattas, participate in maintenance on boathouse workdays, and lend a helping hand in crew functions and activities. Most importantly, serve as board and committee members of the WSCBC.

This webpage provides the points of contact for the WSCBC Board and Committee Members and links to the Constitution and Bylaws. Another link on this webpage provides descriptions of the various volunteer positions that my be filled at the regattas.
