The Dragon Dream Team was on
Good Morning America Oct. 5th

GMA chose our organization and achievements to introduce Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
 
GMA spent a day with us in Pittsburgh September 26 filming at the Pittsburgh Dragonboat Festival (where we were competing) and interviewing various members.  GMA will be broadcasting a live segment from our boathouse on Rex Lake this Tuesday morning! 
 
It's exciting to be able to showcase the camaraderie and support this group provides to our members and newly-diagnosed patients in our area, and to encourage survivors to live an active life after breast cancer!
 
Many Rotary members have participated in the Dragon on the Lake Festival and know how beneficial and fun paddling together can be!

In order to make this fun for our campers and their families we are asking for donations of bags of wrapped candy, or by making a monetary
donation. Campers will have the opportunity to Trick-or-Treat from cabin to cabin and enjoy a s’more around the campfire afterwards.

Donations can be dropped off at the camp office, or with Mella or Amanda at Rotary Lunch, by Friday, October 29, 2021.

Thank you for your support!

A Retrospective Exhibition of Landscapes and Maps, Dedicated to Bruce W. Kiefer

Gallery hours: 9 am- 3 pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday

> > October 16th  5pm-7pm: Reception, given by Virginia Wojno

The drawings comprise imaginative places inspired both by historical reproductions (exploratory sketches, Chinese brush paintings, historical maps) and by Dr. Kiefer’s processes of making,  which include soaking watercolor papers in coffee-based solutions, then drawing and/or collaging over them. The colored-pencil-overlaid photographs were taken both by Dr. Kiefer and her late husband, Bruce Kiefer, architect and master art photographer.
