The club is inviting neighbors and young athletes interested in rowing to enjoy food and refreshments while learning about the program.

Guests will have an opportunity to meet coaches and current athletes, try a rowing machine and see the facilities.

No RSVP is required. The open house is scheduled for 11 a.m-1 p.m. Nov. 19 at the boathouse, 2920 White Rock Road.

White Rock Rowing is under the umbrella of White Rock Boathouse, Inc., a nonprofit founded in 2003. Founders of the organization raised $2.7 million in private donations to cover the costs of renovating the historical T&P Boathouse, which was renamed the Boomerang, and the Filter Building on the west side of White Rock Lake.

Dallas United Crew, another nonprofit rowing club, has a boathouse on the east side of the lake.

Both rowing organizations based at the lake compete in regattas throughout the year. Read about the most recent one, held in Waco, here.
