What a wonderful picnic we had Saturday! The weather was perfect. Lots of people brought way too much wonderful food. If any of you want to have your recipe put into our soon-to-be-published recipe page, please send it via this web page. Thanks everybody!

From time to time we are asked questions about how things are done at Chinatown Tai Chi Center. So, for the next few weeks, we will be including some of these questions (and the answers) here.

Do I have to wear a uniform? In the summer, when it gets hot in the gymnasium, we relax our uniform rules. Shorts are OK and your sash is optional. When the days start to cool off, or in late August, whichever comes first, uniforms will again be required. We'll have to get used to wearing our uniforms then because they will be mandatory while Grandmaster Wong is here. That means the white jacket with black long pants and your sash. When he is not here, the red school shirt with black pants is also acceptable as a uniform. (Mirriam Webster's definition of uniform: Presenting an unvaried appearance of surface, pattern, or color.)

Grandmaster Wong will be here September 14, 15, and 16. The seminars he will teach are not to be missed. If you want to test, let Sifu know so she can make sure you are ready. Currently, no exhibition is planned for this year. Grandmaster, however, will demonstrate some tai chi for students between seminars.
