Dear Mr. Eleen and the Galileo Alumni Association,

On behalf of the Galileo Celestial Dragons (GCD) dragon boat team, I would like to thank you all for your generous donation towards our team. We greatly appreciate your continuous support of our growing team. As you might know, at our past race in April, we placed 3rd in B division. Also, both our women's and men's crew earned spots in the finals for the first time! In addition, our team is now beginning our summer training with water practices and land training during weekdays as well as weekends. Summer is usually the busiest part of our season, as we will be going to Macau next week, Vancouver in about a month, and in July, we will have Sprints race and Long Beach race, both in California. We're excited and training hard. We'll keep you all updated!

By the way, here are the dates for our races:
Macau: 5/25 - 6/2
Vancouver: 6/18 - 6/24
Sprints: 7/12
Long Beach: 7/31 - 8/4
Treasure Island race (in San Francisco): 9/26-9/27. For more information about this race, you can visit www.sfdragonboat.com .
