As you are aware, we had to cancel our 2020 Solomons Island Dragon
Boat Festival due to the COVID-19 pandemic and all of the uncertainty
surrounding it. However, we are pleased
to announce that we are offering a new opportunity for you to support SMCR and
have fun with your friends and family.
SMCR Dragon Quest 2020 is set for August 15.
SMCR Dragon Quest 2020 is a scavenger hunt for puzzle pieces
at locations around Calvert and St. Mary’s Counties. Teams will be asked to decipher clues to
determine where to find their next puzzle piece. Teams will be asked to complete some type of
“challenge” at each stop to gain their puzzle piece. This is a quest and not a race so the event
will not be timed.
A team will be comprised of one motor vehicle which will be
referred to as a chariot. Each team will
be encouraged to decorate their chariot to correspond with their team identity
and to support SMCR and SMCR Dragon Quest 2020 (as usual there will be prizes
based on your level of creativity).
Each chariot rider (age 16 and older) will be asked to pay a
$25 registration fee to participate and encouraged to raise at least an
additional $100. Additional prizes will
be given based on amount of funds raised.
Chariot start times as well as clue orders will be staggered
to continue to encourage social distancing (as we are still unsure what the
state of things will be in August).
Please visit the SMCR website, https://somdcr.org/quest for more information or https://somdcr.org/register to register
your chariot. You may also contact Bonnie
Elward at BonnieElward@gmail.com or
me at solomonsdragonboatteams@gmail.com.
SMCR continues to provide much needed social, recreational
and educational programs for individuals with special needs, even during this
pandemic, and sponsors like you are critical to its success. We encourage you to participate in the 2020 SMCR
Dragon Quest and challenge your friends to do the same. In addition to fielding a team for the quest,
there are a number of sponsorship opportunities available. We will be happy to provide a prospectus upon
request.
We also welcome you to join SMCR and DD the Dragon as she
returns to boat racing at the 2021 Solomons Island Dragon Boat Festival 21
August 2021.
With Warmest Regards,
Kathryn Rivers, Teams Coordinator
