We will maintain our regular time schedule for the month of June. All of the Wednesdays in June are dedicated to preparing for our Fall Demonstration. We will begin each session with stretching and I am requesting a different volunteer for each week to lead those 10-15 minute stretch times.
For the month of July we will be closed on Saturday, July 4th, Monday, July 6th, and Wednesday, July 8th, returning to regular class times for the rest of the month.
Since summer is a time of travel and vacations, we wish you a safe and enjoyable summer. If you are in town, please attend as many classes as you are able. Please let us know when you will be out of town or gone for a few weeks. We appreciate it and it helps us plan our classes better.
Remember Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong will be here for Seminars on September 18, 19, and 20. Start saving for the seminars that you plan to attend. Be sure to tell Sifu (or an instructor) if you have any ideas for a seminar. Please to come to the banquet. We are also planning a cookout/pot luck and that will be a great time. We’ll need lots of help getting everything ready, so please volunteer to help in any way you can.
ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO CALL WITH ANY QUESTION OR CONCERNS. I VALUE YOUR INPUT.
A little contest! Each month we will be putting a "bug" in some random location on our web page. We'd like the students to find it. First person to find it wins a prize. It looks like this:
Part of the reason for this is so you get used to looking at the web page regularly. You just never know when something new will be posted. We'd also like suggestions on information you might like to see on the web page. Are there questions about tai chi you'd like us to post answers to?
On May 16, 2009, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., we will have a Chi Kung Intensive Seminar. This seminar is open to the public.
