5. THANKS FROM THE COMMUNITY
- Space Dragons have been receiving accolades for our efforts at keeping the beach clean. People are noticing - and not just the dragon boat community, but the other beach goers and lifeguards too! So keep up the good work, and thanks to Marina for her continued efforts!
- Space Dragons have also been receiving praise for our role in smoothing over the dragon boat community's sometimes bumpy relationship with the local community. From simple things like not parking in the church parking lot on Sundays to playing nice with the volleyballers, we're doing good! Keep it up!
6. YARD SALE
- This past Saturday we had another successful Yard Sale! Big thanks to Denise, CJ and all of the equipment-bringers for all of their help! And of course mucho thank-o's to all of are team members who came to volunteer and donate in an effort to keep our tournament fees low.
