SDs Celebrate the Royal Wedding

Wearing extravagant gowns, tiaras, fur, feather boas, and jewels, team members drank champagne and toasted Kate and William, and "strong women everywhere."

As soon as the engagement was announced last December, team member Marlene Dubin wrote to Buckingham Palace to invite the future Duchess to become an honorary member of the team, which is the oldest all-women's dragon boating team in Philadelphia.

Her reply was that she has had received many offers from around the world and that she'll have to think about it, but the team is hopeful that "Duchess Catherine," as she is now known, will join team members when she and Prince William make their first trip to the United States as a married couple.

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!
