Join the Ethnocultural, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Group as we gear up for the Boston Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival! We're seeking 20 dedicated paddlers who are eager to compete alongside our vibrant community. Last year, we proudly secured second place in our category, and this year, our sights are set on the Gold.
To join, you'll
need to attend at least one practice session between late April and early June,
held on the picturesque Charles River. The festival itself takes place on June
9th, preceded by our first race for seeding on June 8th. It promises to be an exhilarating
and rewarding team bonding experience. Are you ready to paddle your way to
victory with us?
Important Note: The team is limited to 20 paddlers, please register early!
