Alumni Day 2005 Recap
2005 Alumni Day Slideshow!

Despite a tropical storm earlier in the morning, the March 19th Alumni Day went very well. Together with their friends and family, over thirty alumni helped cement this as an annual tradition. Though turnout was not expected to match that of the first annual event last year, attendance increased not only from the post 2000 era but also from the 1970s.
The weather cleared up just in time for the "1990s Decade" boat to win the 1000 meter Alumni Challenge Cup. Coming in second and third were the "2000 Decade" boat and the "1970s-1980s Decades" boat, respectively.
Almost $5000 was raised to send the team to the IRA championships this year. The top donor boat medals were given to the “1970s-1980s Decades” boat for raising $1540. As donations are still coming in from many who could not attend the total amount is expected to reach $6000.
“We had a great time… at the Cal Lightweight reunion. Lots of laughs, catching up, and lies... We even won the prize for donating the most $ to the crew (and for having the highest average weight too -- 184, or something like that).”
--Steve Azevedo
“Despite the rain, wind, riptide and a few near-crabs, the 70-80's boat managed our way across the finish line. Our staggered start was almost
none-existent this year---having the 90's boat catch us before we'd even finished our start wasn't much fun… We met many young, energetic, and inspiring folks… I am grateful to be part of our team of alums and am certain these efforts will bear fruit for the program.
--Jeremy Fish
