Moving the Boats
By Kerry Kreiger
The process of storing our two boats for the winter always
starts with the question, “When?” This year we had plenty of warm
weather up through December, providing die-hard paddlers the potential
for a long season.

Dragon Wheels
By Buffy Blunt, Schuylkill Dragons
After many cold and wet days of lugging heavy dragon boats
up and down the Schuylkill River ramps at the parking lot otherwise
known as the “Schuylkill Dragons Home” my frustrated husband decided to
do something to improve our method of dragon boat moving.

2006 Fly With The Dragons
This year the Schuylkill Dragons again presented their
popular fundraising event, Fly with the Dragons. This was the third year
that individuals, groups, family and friends came out to the Schuylkill
River to actually experience paddling in a dragon boat—a total of 176
guests paddled their way up and down the river.

SD Annual Cocktail Party
One guest said, "We enjoyed it thoroughly. That is one
diverse group of people! Please keep us on the list for future parties…"
A FABULOUS thank you to everyone for a very successful
(loud and a little chaotic at times) but very successful cocktail party.
We could not have done it without everyone who donated gift
certificates and gift items, cajoled their friends, co-workers and
everyone else to attend, manned the door and all the other things
necessary to make this work. A very special thank you to the "cocktail
party committee" Kay, Mary Kay, Buffy, Paula, Agnes, Terry, & Evelyn
who worked so hard on the event. Ladies, we are awesome! |
