ERC's New Facility

ERC has completed its move to the new facility, and had a successful summer training on the water and racing all around the region! Congratulations to all the rowers and to all who worked so hard to accomplish this transition. The new facility is very close to ERC's historic home, but it's a little hard to find. An aerial photo shows where things are in the directions page. (Posted September 15th 2004)
