Way to go, Centurions! CENTURY 21 New Millennium has been recognized as the number one fundraiser at the Solomons Island Dragon Boat Festival! Among 18 teams who participated in the event to support Southern Maryland Community Resources (SMCR), New Millennium supporters raised a grand total of $9.593.87—”no question” the top fundraiser, per the event organizers.
The event began with practice races and the Opening Ceremony “Dotting of the Eye” on Friday, Aug. 16. Race day followed on Saturday, with New Millennium ultimately placing fifth out of 18 teams. Our team and supporters also enjoyed a delicious lunch at Stoney’s Kingfishers.
Thank to all who participated, whether you were among our teams of 16 paddlers and a drummer, joined the cheering section for “The Centurions” or donated to support this worthy cause.
