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...

Paddles UP
