The Annapolis Dragon Boat Club is open to all men and women. They practice Tuesday and Thursday nights.
Local artist, Nancy Hammond, has painted her rendition of "the paddles of the dragon" which is currently displayed in the breast center of Anne Arundel Medical Center. That same painting is available for purchase on note cards and on a rolled print.
