June President's Message
The paddling season is getting busy and in May we held a fundraiser for the food bank on May 11 Trail Bay Mall and we raised over $1000 for the food bank. Thanks to all the volunteers who came out
and solicited the mall patrons for contributions. SDA and Seagals participated in Women’s Regatta May 25th in False Creek and enjoyed some early season competition in heavy waters.
Jeanne Hage is organizing the BC ferries raffle ticket sales for the club this season and tickets have been distributed for sale, with the draw date to occur Sept 29
This month our annual Mackenzie Cup will be held June 8 at Mackenzie marina at 10am, Pender
Harbour will be joining this fun club event and weather looks fabulous.
We had 40 club members plus some Dragontinis attend a stroke improvement clinic on June 2 put on
by Kamini Jain of right angle performance in False Creek, I think everyone learned something to help the technical aspect of their stroke.
We wish the Mussels well on their Hong Kong regatta and look forward to hearing of their tales from the orient.
Have a great month on the water everyone...

May President's Message
The clubs' first social event of the season, the Wine + Cheese was well attended and many thanks to Bev Zacharias for hosting this event. Prior to the event we had a team leader’s workshop where members met to discuss and review their roles.
The Mackenzie Mussels Hong Kong group are busy training for their upcoming regatta and they would
like to thank all the club members who supported their very successful fundraising events in April.
SDA and SeaGals will be attending the Women’s Regatta in False Creek at end of May and some of the Porpoise paddlers will be joining them to make up full teams.
Starting May 1st we will be running advertising on Sunshine TV network, they have tv screens in several locations on the coast. You can see the ad on the front page of our website as a youtube video.
Our next club event will be our Fill the Boat for the Food bank on May 11 th at Trail Bay mall, please let your team reps know if you can help with this very worthwhile cause.
Paddles Up and have a great month on the water!

Thanks to everyone who came out March 23 to Wake the Boats, they are now in the water ready to go.
We are currently working on improvements to the website and I need help from all teams to send me pictures, especially action pictures to replace the older ones on the site.
