Learn to Row Coaches, Cathy Ranspot and Cherie Farmer are growing the DRC rowing community by completing the first “Sweep to Scull” clinic of 2021. They took five experienced rowers and taught them how to transfer existing skills of rowing in a team sweep boat to rowing with 2 oars in a single shell. Stay tuned for more exciting clinics and workshops to improve your capabilities or learn a new skill in the months ahead. Dallas Rowing Club has been serving the Dallas rowing community since 1983.

Congratulations to the 7 new rowers who completed the first Learn To Row session of 2021! The future dates are filling up fast but there is still time later in the season to join in the fun and fitness of sculling on beautiful Bachman Lake.

DRC did not disappoint! We participated in the United to Learn Community Ergathon to aid others during these tough times.

Tad and his wife, Dr. Gina Tomaseski, is a physical therapist. Together they founded icare Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine Center in Flower Mound. Tad had also been a innovator of ID Life Nutrition and a pastor at Elevate life Church in Frisco where he has been attributed to having changed the lives of many and was much-loved by all that knew him. Tad & Gina have two children, Tyler (Summer) of Carrolton and Taina (Jerrod) of Lewisville. Tad's mother and stepfather, Janalee & Allen Heinemann of Siesta Key, Florida. His father & stepmother, Jay & Carol Tomaseski reside in Gainesville, GA. Survivors also include Tad's siblings, Tina (John) Kiel of St Louis, MO; Tracy (Jeff) White of Ft Myers, FL; Sarah (Chris) Tenaglia of Sarasota, Fl; Matt Heinemann of Jefferson City, MO.
He was adored by his niece and nephews, Noelle & Rocco Tenaglia, Mike Kiel, and was preceded in death by his beloved nephew, Adam (White) Romagnoli.

During Tad's courageous battle with cancer, he wrote inspirational Facebook postings that were followed by thousands. At the conclusion of his last post March 29th, Tad wrote:
"Don't let this post make you feel sad for me, because even though this battle has been and continues to be horrific, my life is beautiful. As my friend I just want to be honest about my current physical state. My spirit is strong as ever along with my hope. I am the most blessed man you have ever met and None of this can take that from me. I feel sad for those that are perfectly healthy and will live a long unfulfilling life not knowing true unconditional love the way I have known it, lived it, given it, received it, been surrounded by it. So, it is time to GET UP once again and continue to push forward, treasuring every additional day of this beautiful life of which I was given the gift of yet another day of it today. I'm counting my blessings and you my Friend are included in that list. Thank you for your encouragement, thoughts, prayers, and continual outpouring of unconditional Love. I LOVE YOU."
