Rent-a-Rower for outdoor chores

If you're not looking forward to doing those seasonal chores -- raking leaves, cleaning gutters, splitting wood, etc. -- the U.Va. men's crew team is offering the muscles of more than 60 rowers as a fund-raising event. They'll come to your house Nov. 13 or 20, for $100 per day, per worker, if you can provide the tools.

Call Brian Carlisle at 982-5681, and if you get voicemail, leave a message and you'll get a call back.

The Virginia Rowing Association is a chartered, independent club that depends on its own fund-raising efforts to purchase equipment and support its travel budget.
