8月11日, 由密尔沃基华人社区中心(MCCC)主办,美华协会(OCA)及亚美专业协会(NAAAP)协办的第六届密尔沃基龙舟节在市中心的Lakeshore State Park再次擂响战鼓。来自威斯康星州、伊利诺伊州和依阿华州的华侨华人及其他社团、当地企业组成的55支队伍参赛,再次打破该赛事参赛人数记录。
继去年由于水质的原因,比赛改到Lakeshore State Park后, 根据各方意见反馈, 发现这一州际公园地势开阔, 依河傍湖, 风景优美. 经组委会决定, 龙舟赛将继续使用这个场地。
今年开幕式的一大亮点是龙舟赛善款捐赠仪式。自龙舟赛举行以来, 每年都有专款捐赠给Ronald McDonald House。今年是第一次在开幕式上举行隆重的捐赠仪式。龙舟赛组委会的代表们向Ronald McDonald House Charities(RMHC)的总裁Ann Ptrie女士郑重递交了$5000的支票。Ann Ptrie女士代表RMHC对密城华人服务社区, 反馈社区的善举表示了感谢和肯定。
Harley-Davidson的VP & Chief HR Officer Tchernavia Rocker,Northwestern mutual的VP & Chief Risk Officer Tammy Roou和Director of Milwaukee County Parks Guy Smith也在开幕式上发言。
