Bribie's beautiful new Dragonboat arrived, after a lot of trauma, and thanks to Blair who gave his services to transport it up from Currumbin, on Saturday 24 January.
We are still waiting for our paddle delivery[they have been delayed because of Xmas backlog], and the "Zonta" logo will be affixed next week, as it was "Zonta" Club of Caboolture who donated the money for us to buy the boat.
We also have "Rotary" club of Bribie supporting us and the "Lions" who gave us a site at the Australia Day Markets here, which enabled us to raise awareness of Dragons Abreast Bribie Island, and hopefully attract more breast cancer survivor members.
A couple of the husbands have helped assemble the parts of the boat which needed to be affixed, and Roger is making a trolley for us to transport the boat to the water.
It seems a long time getting on the water, but we cannot launch without these things.
However, our clubs in the vicinity will help us, as we do not have a sweep, coach or many experienced paddlers.
We hope to organize a BIG launch, with other clubs invited, newspapers notified, and a "Dragonmaster" to open the Dragon's eyes and hopefully bring up his "Lion" Dancers for the event.
I enjoyed CNY as usual, and welcomed to opportunity to attend the meetings which were arranged for us. Thank you to all concerned.
