The general meeting bought us all together to forge our new year together. Great things are happening! Besides a hike planned this Sat. (1/18) at 9:30 a.m. South Mountain on the Javelina Trail (5.4 mi.), club business includes nominations for our club President, Vice President and a Member at Large. Please send all nominations by Jan. 25 to our Secretary, Carolee at Lil_italia71@centurlink.net.

And…Save the Dates!

• January 26: Maintenance Day, this day is mandatory. 8 a.m.
• Feb 16: Club Blessing
• March 14 and 15: Aloha Festival
• March 21: Na Leo ‘O Ke Kai Open House
• March 28 and 29: AZDBA Dragon Boat Festival

Finally – we are supporting a fundraiser for SunGi Women’s Dragon Boat Team, who has won a berth to World Club Crew Championships in France in 2020. Please clean out your closets and bring gently used shoes and clothes to practices before the end of Feb. to help support them (and our Na Leo paddlers on the crew!).

Aloha and Happy New Year Na Leo Ohana! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. We have a general meeting  Sunday, Jan. 12, to go over the 2020 Season. If you have any suggestions or ideas for this year, please come and share them with the club. We depend on everyone to keep the club and the Keiki program moving forward into the future.
