Friday night we are happy to offer a showing of "Kiss The Joy", the Joan Lind Van Blom Story, on the Jumbotron at 5pm as a complimentary feature of your participation in this year's Crew Classic. There will also be a taco truck on site during the film for you and your athletes to purchase some dinner. Come, bring a towel, sit on the lawn and join us for the inspirational story of the first female American Olympic medalist from the 1976 Olympics.
