The celebration of the 10th PJ Dragon Boat Festival was once again a huge success!!! As always, our Sound of Long Island Chorus is very proud to be part of this celebration! – Testimonial from Sound of Long Island Youth Chorus Representative
“Barbara, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you and the Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce over the past seven years, for Stony Brook University’s participation in the Annual Port Jeff Dragon Boat Race Festival. It is a wonderful community-based event that brings so many people together to learn about dragon boat racing, celebrates Asian culture, and provides some friendly competition. Thank you for this opportunity and for all of the hard work that you and your colleagues do to make the festival a success. I wish you and the Port Jeff Chamber the best at this September’s festival and in the years to come!”
“Paddles down. This (RED) dragon is leaving. Carry on!”
Best regards,
Cheryl
Wonderful festival! Perfect organizing! Great job!

Dear Barbara
Good afternoon! Thank you for inviting Huaxia Dragons to join this wonderful event. We enjoyed it very much. I have shared with you a 3-min video clip by our professional photographer. Please take a look before going sleep 😆
All the best,

Hello, Barb (aka Mother of Dragons)!
Thanks for your kind words. Last Saturday was a GREAT day! We, the Stony Brook University School of Medicine and Seawolves Teams, appreciate being included in the boat races and festivities. Our deepest thanks to you and the Port Jefferson Chamber of Commerce for keeping this annual event and wonderful community program alive and thriving. We are also ecstatic about winning the gold and bronze medals in our respective subdivisions.
Our RED Dragons are sleeping, too!
GO SEAWOLVES!
All the Best,
Cheryl

Barbara-
I’d like to thank you for once again providing myself and my team with an absolutely special day. Through their smiles, our first-timers immediately told me to sign them up for next year.
I can’t fathom how many hours of planning and worry you’ve spent to help ensure another day of flawlessly executed racing, but it shows.
The boats were much better than last year’s provider. I hope you were as satisfied as the rest of us.
Thank you again for all of your efforts. I hope the Village of Port Jefferson realizes, like the rest us, how special you are and how lucky we are to have you.
Kevin – Captain, Wave Runners
