Mini Dragon Boat Tryout

On a cold and rainy Sunday, April 4th club members had chance to see a ten-man mini dragon boat as it passed through Davis Bay on the way to McKenzie Marina in Porpoise Bay. Over the next two months all club members will have a chance to tryout the new boat and decide if the club will start fund raising towards a goal of purchasing one of these smaller boats.

Wine and Cheese

On Sunday, April 17 all Club Members were invited to a wine and cheese get together and fundraiser for the local food bank. Members enjoyed a glass wine and snacks and had a chance to visit with fellow paddlers. Congratulations to Linda Dawson and Licia Paddison who won the door prizes. $455 and several baskets of food were collected for the Sechelt Food Bank. Thank you to everyone who participated and many thanks to Bev Zacharias for hosting and Darlene Kerfoot for organizing such a fun event. Thank you to all Club Team Leaders who met prior to the event. We had great participation and lots of good ideas were exchanged.
