Making Waves Floating Support Group

Why choose dragon boating as a venue for survivors? Research has shown that breast cancer survivors who engage in repetitive activities, such as paddling, develop a marked improvement in  both physical and mental health. Armed with positive effects of dragon boating, a group of enthusiastic breast cancer survivors from Rochester got organized and paddles every Wednesday evening in the summer on Silver Lake. Big Red came out of storage on the farm where she wintered, and was brought to Silver Lake for repairs and painting. We are getting excited for the Rochesterfest parade on Friday, June 25. For more information contact, Sheila Kramer at (507) 281-2879 or email makingwavesteam@gmail.com

Check out the new United States Dragon Boat Federation website (www.usdbf.org).  Be sure to click on the drums! This is sure to get you excited for paddling.

What's Happening ~ Join the Journey

Thank you to everyone who was able to come and help make Rochester (Silver Lake) a Litter Bit Better as we picked up litter in groups along the walking path. Silver Lake is a key location for Join the Journey, as the site of our annual walk. It is also the summer home and paddling site for Making Waves Floating Support Group. We were glad to give some of our time to make the park areas tidy for ourselves and other visitors.
