OUTSTANDING JOB Long Beach AeroDragons! Congratulations on 1st Place WIN in the Adult Division. It was a great TEAM effort --- especially in that final heat against LARD, Space Dragons and Made in the USA. Thanks to everyone for the great time!
My personal favorite highlights: Renal's new aerodynamic haircut (that must be why we won - less resistance), those traitor paddlers Carolyn, Jesse & Ruthanne trying to spy on us, and Damon and Mike cheering us on at the finish --- anyone else have any good ones?
Some pictures are up on the web --- send me any pics that you have so I can post (most of mine are blurry). Did anyone get pics or video of the last heat? Also - did anyone see the "sangwich" envelope with $$$ in it --- it might have gotten caught up with someone else's stuff --- let me know . . .
OK, so you all know that the other teams will be gunning for us now and we'll have to defend our title. Also, Dr. Chen wants us to beat the San Francisco teams next (BAD & Dragon Warriors). Coach Dee says the next team to beat is SAN DIEGO so . . .
PRACTICE this WED, SAT and SUN.
Please RSVP for days that you will be at practice and make sure you arrive PROMPTLY at 5:30P WED (6P ON THE WATER), 9:30A SAT and/or 8:30A SUN.
Again --- great job guys --- AWESOME --- (as Fred would say) . . .

LA Pink Dragons will be selling SUBWAY sandwiches as a fund raiser at the May 22nd Long Beach race. Sandwiches will be delivered right to our tent on race day!
We will need to pre-order our sandwiches and pay by May 15, Sunday (next weekend). Here's the menu:
1. TURKEY/ 12 INCH/ $5.00
2. HAM/12 INCH/$5.00
3. TURKEY/HAM/ 12 INCH/ $5.00
4. ROAST BEEF/ 12 INCH/ $5.25
5. VEGGIE/ 12 INCH/ $4.50
** CHOICE OF BREAD: WHITE OR WHEAT. 12 INCH SUB CUT IN HALF TO SHARE**
Let me know how many of you are interested in this so we can get an order going.
NEED VOLUNTEERS!
Also, because we are now considered a "veteran" team, Dr. Chen needs paddlers to volunteer to help monitor practices in preparation for the Long Beach Tournament on July 30-31. We need 2 paddlers for hour-long shifts (or LONGER if you can) - you will be responsible for safety and order on the beach (specific duties to follow sometime this week).
As of today, AeroDragons will be responsible for monitoring boats from 7AM to 2PM on SAT June 25th AND SAT July 2nd. More teams may be added to fill the schedule. This is a TEAM responsibility and I need each AeroDragon to sign up for at least one day! Please let me know your preference (date & time) as soon as possible. . .
PRACTICE HIGHLIGHTS: Segregated gender resistance training (girls vs. boys). Carolyn losing her diamond cross. Henry & Mike finding it! Helping to bring in the brand new shiny boats in on Sunday (2 regular boats, 2 "baby" 10-man boats).
Thanks to those who are volunteering for our recruiting effort at Circle A Ranch (Aerospace Corp). We'll see you Paulikas Mall around 11AM this Thursday!
