February is the GLRF Fundraiser Month
It has been a phenomenal year of growth for the the Gay + Lesbian Rowing Federation. In the past 12 months, we added 66 members and 2 countries to our worldwide community. At the same time we have been making big strides in creating a more dynamic and interconnected website. We've added jump links to get members from galleries to countries to forums.
We introduced GLRF Countries, a feature that instantly helps to create a geographic community. Later in the year, we added GLRF Categories which helps bring rowers together from around the world who are focused on one or more demographic communities. Then we added tools to make your visit to the GLRF website easier and more personal: My GLRF, Share A Link, Find A Member, and the auto follow features. But wait, we're not finished yet; there are lots more improvements still to come including a new regatta and camp listing page, and a new seat search feature.
You can help GLRF continue its expansion as a worldwide community, and support our ongoing website enrichments. There are several ways you can make a difference:
2015 Eurogames Regatta Late Registration Now Available
Late registration for the 2015 Eurogames Regatta in Stockholm will continue through 31 May 2015. Interest has begun to grow as evidenced by the activity on the topic in the Eurogames forum. Although the registration fee has increased by 20 Euros, the changes in the financial currency markets have made attendance more affordable.
Additionally, the boat rental fees have dropped from their initial published rate of 30 Euros to 25 Euros. Read all of the updated information on our Berlin Tattler news feed.
GLRF at the 2015 San Diego Crew Classic
We will host a vendor's booth at the 2015 San Diego Crew Classic. Not competing? Why not make plans to watch the action and swing by the GLRF booth to say hello. The races are 28 - 29 March 2015, on Mission Bay in San Diego, United States.

Did you know about the many community tools available on GLRF?
Share A Link - this isn't just a list of links. Add your club or other rowing links that our members would enjoy, and through our dynamic database listing, the links appear on the GLRF Country pages, the GLRF Categories pages, and soon, our new Learn To Row page.
Calendar - 8 regional calendars allow any GLRF member to post an event for his/her geographic area.
Blogwater - any GLRF member can create a club blog with multiple author access so you don't have to make all the posts. It's a great way to spread the news about your club!
Gallery - any member has their own personal gallery but did you know you can create a gallery for your rowing club? Any image you upload to that gallery has an instant copy and paste code that can be used in a post on a forum, in a calendar event, and in a blog entry?
Groups - you can create an instant club on GLRF with the All Oars Groups. It's free and there is no muss and fuss about website design or domain name management. GLRF helps you create an easy to share subdomain name and suddenly you have a membership site for your city, the gay and lesbian rowers in your club, or for a category community in your country. You can add events to the group, you instantly have your own forum, and you can publish news. GLRF will add a separate group image gallery for you, and you can list links for rowing clubs in your area where your group's members row.
Forums - Every country where GLRF has a member has its own forum. You can post a topic there, be it looking for a coxie or to discuss items of interest to your own GLRF country.
Classifieds - 8 regional classifieds sections allow any GLRF member to submit an ad for an item or for a service. The classifieds are free for any GLRF member.
