New ‘celebration wall’ honors past rowers

White Rock Rowing (WRR) partnered with the Greater East Dallas Chamber of Commerce for a ribbon cutting on Jan. 31 to launch the spring season at WRR. Along with food and drink, White Rock executives spoke about the upcoming season, as well as touched on the community roots of the established club. The event featured a boathouse tour including a brand new “celebration wall,” which includes pictures of team members, important trophies and accolades, and college flags for which rowers were recruited. “We are excited to gather with supporters of the club at this long-awaited event,” Sue Ellen

Chambers, the boathouse president, said. The youth rowers along with their parents, board members and fans celebrated the new season and honored community involvement. — Brooke Tinch
