Message from Ron re: Vancouver Seminar

Hi Guys.

Just a reminder that we will be holding our Seminar at the Scottish Cultural Centre located at 8868 Hudson Street in Vancouver on Saturday,January 5th,2013.There will be a morning session from 10:00 am. to 12:00 noon.The afternoon session will be from 2:00 pm. to 4:00 pm.The cost for each session is $20.00.If you can not attend the morning session, you can attend the afternoon session and vice versa.However, Hiro Sensei has paid $560.00 for the rental of the space so we need as many students as possible to attend to recoup our money.
There will be a Sushi Lunch delivered at 12:00 noon at a cost of $10.00 per person and we need to know in advance how many people are planning to attend the Seminar and partake of the Sushi Lunch so that we order the correct amount of food.Please send a RSVP let us know if you will be attending and eating lunch.


Thanks,

Ron

Message from Ron Re: Iaido Christmas Party

Hi Guys.

I made reservations for 12 people;but only 10 people have said that they are going to attend.Is there anyone else who wants to attend?Please rsvp so that I can adjust the number of people so that we don't pay for more people than the number who attend.We can easily order more food if more people show up;but it's difficult if there are less people than we anticipated.

Thanks,
Ron.

Message from Ron: Re Marpole Dojo

Hi Guys.

There is a Christmas Party at the Marpole Community Centre this Friday and they will be using our room.We will be practicing in one of the racquetball courts downstairs.The space is much smaller so we will have to practice Sieza Wazas which require less space.

See you on Friday.

Message from Ron - Re: Kokusai Renmei

Hi Guys.

Sensei wants members that have a Dan ranking to transfer their Dan rank from the CIA to Kokusai Renmei.The cost to receive a new Dan Certificate from Kokusai Renmei is 2000 Japanese yen.Members who hold a Dan rank under the CIA and who wish to test at the Seminar in May 2013 will have to have their Dan Certificate transferred in order to test. Kelvin will be going to Japan in January and he is willing to take the money for the Dan Transfer Fee as well as the 5000 Japanese Yen from those people who have not yet paid their Annual Dues for 2013.Kelvin wants Japanese Yen only-no Canadian cash or cheques.You can give me your Japanese Yen and I will issue you a written receipt and pass the cash along to Kelvin.

Thanks,
Ron.
