Many Hands Create a Fiery Dragon
 The
Dragon Creators glued, taped, cut, stitched, assembled,
and fringed throughout Sunday August 26 at UBC
Theatre Department Costume Room. The AIAB
Dragon, which will be paraded through the streets
of Caloundra Australia in less than
a month, came together with the sound of laughter
and squeals of delight from all the worker bees in
attendance.
The effort
was organized by Barb Lea of Abreast - Deas Divas
and directed by Jean Driscoll-Bell of Abreast On The
Creek. An enormous THANK YOU goes
to the outstanding creative volunteers from our crews.
 
The day
started off 10 a.m. with coffee/tea and sweet rolls
and little visits as everyone arrived. The concept
overview and ideas started flowing and began taking
shape. A short break for a succulent "pot luck"
lunch at 12:30 was followed by a photo op and then
back to work. A very pleasant surprise was a visit
from our President, Margaret Hobson, and Deas Manager
and photographer, Sheila Tynan. While some had to
call it a day at 4:00 pm, others carried on to complete
the tasks and even taking a few moments to step
outside to test run the results of our work before
we all departed at 8:00 pm.
Overall
results - GRAND - SIMPLY - GRAND!!
Thank you all for bringing this idea to fruition -
without your creative spirit and generous help, it
would never have been ready in time.
