Head Of The Charles Regatta 2016 HOCR Program | Page 66

LAST TEN STROKES/ CONTINUED

As we celebrate the
52nd Head Of The
Charles Regatta, I
cherish all the many
fond memories of
working side by side
with other passionate
rowers who band
together to help host
this epic Regatta.

One of the busiest areas of the
entire Regatta is the Weld Boathouse Display near the Anderson
Bridge. Here you will see an array of
brands including Comcast XFINITY,
Shell Fuel Rewards Network, Chobani, Muscle Milk, Celsius, Lloyd’s
BBQ, Rimowa, Bigelow Tea, Honest
Tea, and Ghiardelli Chocolate.
A group of very important
in-kind sponsors also help ensure
the success of the Regatta. These
include but are not limited to:
USRowing, The Lenox Hotel (our official hotel), Greater Media Boston,
Ruth’s Chris Steak House, RegattaCentral and Gentle Giant Moving
Company, to name a few.
Finally, we wish to thank Commissioner Leo Roy, deputy Commissioner Nick Gove and Janice Parlon,
Manager of Special Events of the
Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), for
their continued support and part-

nership, without which the Regatta
could not go forward.
Finally, special thanks to Race
Directors Bracknell Baker and Bob
Mannino, as well as our efficient
Race Committee and Operations
Groups, for working year- round to
make this weekend a success.
Good racing to all competitors
and may your experience this weekend be memorable and fun!
We will look for you again in
2017 on October 21st and 22nd.
All the best,

FREDERICK V. SCHOCH HAS BEEN THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE HEAD OF THE CHARLES SINCE 1992.

COMMITMENT. DEDICATION. EXCELLENCE.
Building relationships throughout our 15 million sf portfolio is an essential element of Normandy’s
culture—and we proudly support organizations such as the Head Of The Charles® Regatta
that look to advance business and charitable endeavors.
