Grand Opening

Grand Opening:

Welcome to the new i-home for Dragons Instructor Alum Community! It's only a beginning, so please have patience as we ramp it up to something exciting. And if you have great ideas for what should or could be here, please see the section of the site called, "The Team." Please also notice that our shared "Community Calendar" (below) is looking a little empty. We're working on that, but if you want to put something on the calendar - an event, seminar, house dinner, presentation, etc. - please do email christina@wheretherebedragons.com.
